Simteract has just announced a collaboration with Astragon on an unannounced simulation game. Astragon is a German publisher specializing in productions in this genre, and the project is one of the largest Simteract has worked on so far. With the signing of the contract, work on the title began. This is one of three games that are in Simteract’s current plans.

Astragon is a leading publisher of simulation games with over 20 years of experience in this segment. The company’s publishing portfolio includes internationally recognized titles, such as: Construction Simulator, Bus Simulator, Police Simulator: Patrol Officers and Firefighting Simulator. Since 2022, the publisher has belonged to the UK-based Team17 Group PLC.

Cooperation with such an important publisher for the simulator market shows how strong a position we have built among developers in this genre. Astragon has extensive experience releasing games in this segment, which gives us great comfort working with a partner who has already presented players with several hit productions. From the beginning of the talks, we also got along great about the project’s vision, which bodes very well for the future – comments Marcin Jaśkiewicz, CEO of Simteract.

Project Prodigy, Simteract’s working name for the simulator being created, is one of the three productions the company is currently working on. Advanced work is underway on Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator as the game is approaching the alpha stage, with the release scheduled for 2023. The title will be published by NACON, with whom the company has already collaborated on the occasion of its first game, Train Life: A Railway Simulator. Simteract has also started work on the new, strategic IP to expand Simteract’s operations, which the company plans to finance from its resources and be the sole owner of the IP rights. It has yet to be determined whether the company will cooperate with the publisher or decide to self-publish.
