Hello truckers! Alaska is one of the most varied and wildest regions left on our planet. Despite being inhabited for many thousands of years, it still has vast tracts of space that humanity has barely touched.

[url=”https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/849100/view/3682304369502161023”]We’ve already touched upon how we’re recreating Alaska complete with lush forests, frozen wastes, and colossal snow-touched mountains[/url]. Now, we want to show off a preview of the life that’ll inhabit that world. Let’s meet some wildlife! [h2][b]The Animals of Alaskan Road Truckers[/b][/h2] When you play Alaskan Road Truckers there’ll be plenty of times where you’ll find yourself far from civilization, delivering cargo or just out there exploring the wilds. But just because there are no other humans around doesn’t mean you’ll be alone. We’ve been busy populating the wilderness with animals, making the world of Alaskan Road Truckers feel more alive than ever.

They’ll disappear into the undergrowth or flit between trees in the dense forests. Just like real fauna they won’t let you get too close to them but they’ll be there in the distance, adding animal life to our expansive vision of Alaska.

We’ll also be working to add more wildlife in order to make our version of Alaska feel as alive as the real thing. Stay tuned for further updates!
