Community Update June 2016
Dear Community,
today we would like to share more details of the current status of Construction Simulator 2015. At the end of June we will release a new patch which will include the virtual vehicle hall. With this new feature you will be able to have more machinery of the same type and mod vehicles in your vehicle park than ever before.
Aside from that we will introduce Turkish and Brazilian Portuguese languages into the game.
Next to this the update will include several fixes and an increased performance due to various enhancements as well as new features for single- and multiplayer mode requested by you as well as the support of mods in multiplayer mode. A complete changelog will follow with the release of the update itself. So stay tuned!
Beyond that we are currently working on three new DLC-packages which will be released in 2016. The sixth DLC will include the following:
6th DLC: MAN® TGX D38 In this DLC package we will introduce extended heavy cargo which will need to be transported by you. This package will also contain additions to the vehicle park with the very powerful MAN® TGX D38 Truck and the new LIEBHERR® LTM 1300 6.2 mobile crane. You can test your skills in multiple brand new “heavy” and challenging missions.
In 2016 we will be shipping two more DLC-packages, including the LIEBHERR® A 918 mobile excavator, which we revealed recently. More detailed information will follow in time.
We hope that you will like the short glimpse on what comes next for Construction Simulator 2015. We would like to use the opportunity and say a huge THANK YOU to all of you. Without your support and continuous constructive feedback the very positive journey of Construction Simulator 2015 wouldn’t be possible.
Your weltenbauer. Team
Note: Upcoming Update & DLCs
Dear community,
2016 is a busy year for us. We have already achieved great steps, but there is still much to do. According to plan we will provide Construction Simulator 2015 with new, high quality content and also present you one or two surprises till the end of this year.
The first of these steps will be the upcoming update for Construction Simulator 2015 which is already under construction. In addition to various game improvements and bug fixes, this update will also bring a virtual vehicle depot into the game. The depot can be used to store currently unneeded vehicles. This way all problems connected to the limited number of parking lots at your homebase should belong to the past. With the update players will be able to hold multiple vehicles of the same type, which is great for multiplayer sessions, and also have additional mod vehicles in the fleet without having to sell vehicles when space is running low. We opted for this solution, because it is reasonable and can find its way into the game without any problems.
In addition to the update there are currently three DLC packs planned for Construction Simulator 2015. With these expansion packs we will not only bring new missions but also a number of new originally licensed MAN® and LIEBHERR® vehicles and construction equipment into the game. All of those DLC contents will of course be 100% multiplayer compatible and also fully functional in single player mode. Among other things the new DLC packs will contain the long-awaited A918 wheeled excavator of our partner LIEBHERR® as well as a four-axle MAN® TGX D38 truck. More detailed information will follow in time - so stay tuned!
Parallel to the development of the update and the next DLCs for Construction Simulator 2015, we are already working on a new project for smartphones and tablets, which we will reveal soon. At this point once again a big thank you for your years of loyalty and support. We are already looking forward to 2016 and for sure will continue on this crazy year together with you!
