A major public debut for Bus Simulator 27

One of the biggest highlights of the showcase will be the first public playable demo of Bus Simulator 27. The game was recently revealed during IGN Fan Fest with an announcement trailer that introduced players to the next chapter in the long-running Bus Simulator series.

The franchise has gained a loyal fanbase by allowing players to operate city bus routes while managing schedules, passenger satisfaction, and transport networks. Each entry in the series expands the realism of public transport operations, giving players more control over routes, vehicle fleets, and urban environments.

With Bus Simulator 27, astragon aims to push the series further by introducing new gameplay systems and improvements designed to make the driving and management experience more immersive. PAX East attendees will be among the first members of the public to try the game firsthand.

For fans of simulation titles that focus on transport logistics and city infrastructure, this debut is expected to be one of the most anticipated demonstrations at the astragon booth.

Rangers, ships and real-world professions in simulation

Another major upcoming title featured at the event is Rangers’ Path: National Park Simulator. Scheduled for release on March 10, the game places players in the role of a park ranger responsible for maintaining and protecting Faremont National Park.

Players must balance wildlife protection, infrastructure maintenance, and visitor safety while managing the natural beauty of the park. The game offers a unique perspective within the simulation genre by focusing on environmental stewardship and conservation.

Also appearing at the showcase is Seafarer: The Ship Sim, which allows players to command large vessels including container ships and perform a variety of maritime missions. The game is currently available in Early Access and has recently received its second major content update, adding new features and expanding gameplay.

These titles demonstrate astragon’s commitment to creating simulations that explore a wide variety of professions and environments, from natural parks to international shipping routes.
