Transport Fever 3 Adds Subarctic Map And Night Cycles Ahead Of September 29 Release
Urban Games is trading the previous game's single money objective for eight balanced goal categories and a tutorial-led campaign, a design bet that a management sim can open its early hours to newcomers without trimming the systems core players return for.

Urban Games will release Transport Fever 3 on September 29, 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Mac. Publishing manager Nicolas Heinei said the team kept what worked in the previous game while lowering the entry barrier: the campaign's 8 stages have a tutorial in the first half, and a Quick Start Tutorial was added. Eight goal categories replace the previous game's focus on making money. A subarctic environment and non-gameplay day-night and weather cycles are new.
The campaign runs 8 stages. The first half doubles as a tutorial, and the Quick Start Tutorial sits alongside it; the second half is tuned to the difficulty of players who went deep into the previous game. The final stage is set in Japan in 2033.
Goals changed more than the map. Where the previous game centered on making money, the new one spreads progress across 8 goal categories that a city has to meet in balance. Environments gain a subarctic setting alongside the existing temperate, desert, and tropical ones, and day-night and weather cycles were added for looks only, since affecting play would raise difficulty. Track and road laying is more sensitive to elevation but is now a single-click action, with intersection direction and signal timing open to adjustment.
