Aesir Interactive and astragon Entertainment are expanding their popular working simulation game Police Simulator: Patrol Officers with the sixth update since the start of the early access phase in June 2021 today: The aptly named Traffic Management update offers players various new options for traffic control. Update will be available on steam tomorrow, Wednesday July 13, at 10am ET.
With new tools, hand gestures and commands, controlling traffic becomes not only easier but even more realistic for the patrol officers in the busy streets of the fictional US East Coast metropolis of Brighton. The Traffic Management update enables them to block off entire streets or individual lanes with the help of traffic cones and barriers. Bystanders, passers-by and witnesses may be instructed to wait at a designated location, to not use one of the sidewalks or to turn around, and choose an alternate route to their destination. Vehicles can also be asked to wait, to bypass a barrier – for example at the scene of an accident – or to drive back in the other direction.
In addition to the new features, the Traffic Management update offers players a number of bug fixes and improvements such as improved NPV reaction to sirens and near intersections, NPV lane switching behavior, or NPC behavior near patrol vehicles, as well as the modding option to customize siren sounds and the lightbar light patterns of their police vehicles.
Police Simulator: Patrol Officers by developer Aesir Interactive and publisher astragon Entertainment is available in early access for PC via Steam™ and the official astragon homepage for 19.99 Euro/USD 24.99/17.99 GBP (RSP). The game is supported by a game-grant of the German funding body FilmFernsehFonds Bayern. All contents of the update phases until the official end of early access are already included in the price. A detailed overview of upcoming content can be found in the official Police Simulator: Patrol Officers Roadmap.
