Strange Scaffold, with co-developer Frosty Pop, shipped its driving action game Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?! on July 29, 2026, for PC via Steam and Xbox Series X|S. The game turns the isekai truck trope into a playable mechanic: the player drives a magical truck, reincarnating pedestrians into another world where protagonist Carissa Ward fights them as monsters. The premise directly satirizes the truck-kun trope, and the game includes package delivery and star-based objectives tied to a Galactic Gate.

Early reviews on Metacritic give the PC version a score of 68 across 13 reviews, with praise for the premise and criticism of repetition. The game does not support Japanese. The soundtrack is by David Mason, known for Dredge. The Steam price is 2,300 yen, with a 20 percent discount to 1,840 yen until August 13.
