Saber Interactive has launched a new gameplay trailer for Bus Bound, its upcoming city bus driving simulator, and it shows off the dynamic city of Emberville, bus stop interactions, route planning, and more.
Bus Bound takes players to Emberville, a prospering and growing city with an intricate traffic system that players will manage as a city bus driver. The latest gameplay trailer gives fans a look at what Emberville looks like and features, including an outdoor dinosaur display, statues, parks, and more.
Players will have to plan routes throughout Emberville while gaining their riders’ trust. Things like going the speed limit and obeying traffic laws (yes, this includes speed limits) can improve how those in the city think about the bus.
The Bus Bound gameplay trailer also shows off the city. Between various weather patterns and the time of day, Emberville functions like an actual city. There’s even construction that players will have to navigate around, along with speed bumps.
The city will also grow as players take control of the bus. By upgrading bus stops, utilizing passive perks, and unlocking new routes, players can make Emberville even more public-transport-friendly.
Bus Bound will also offer plenty of customization options, complete with buses from American manufacturers like the New Flyer Xcelsior 40ft CNG and the Blue Bird Sigma. There are over 12 buses already planned for launch, though the lineup is growing.
Additionally, Bus Bound will be co-op, so players can take on the bus routes in Emberville with friends.
