‘Transport Tycoon’ Landing on October 3rd for iOS!
Chris Sawyer’s 31X Ltd and Origin8 Technologies Ltd have announced that the iOS version of the gaming classic Transport Tycoon will hit the App Store on October 3rd, 2013. Transport Tycoon for iOS has been designed and directed by Chris Sawyer himself — the original creator of Transport Tycoon, Transport Tycoon Deluxe and Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 & 2. Veteran developers Origin8 have also recreated Sawyer’s original simulation code as well delivering the best experience possible. Back in July of this year, we wrote about the first screenshots for the game which you can see here.
In addition to the screenshots we posted earlier, you can watch the trailer below as well.
“I’m delighted that we are able to bring Transport Tycoon to mobile devices and tablets and I hope that players of the original PC games – as well as people who have never played the original – will thoroughly enjoy the rejuvenated game on a platform it suits so well,” said Chris Sawyer. “It’s been quite a challenge for the Origin8 development team to re-write the game from scratch and adapt it to the smaller touch-screen interface but the result is probably one of the most extensive and intricate games currently available for mobile platforms, a testament to Origin8’s skills and to the processing power now available on these devices. I hope the game’s size and depth of gameplay will keep players entertained and engrossed for months, if not years.”
Like always, we will keep you updated as we get more as time progresses to the launch date.
