Hello Truckers,

we have some new information about the Heavy Cargo - The Truck Simulator "Heavy Defense" DLC and Update 1.4.0 for you.

Heavy Defense – Heavy Cargo goes military:

Work on our next DLC, "Heavy Defense" , is now in its final stages. The release is planned for the near future, with an exact release date to be announced at a later time. Alongside the DLC, Update 1.4.0 will also be released, bringing several exciting new features and improvements.

More customization options for your trucks:

With the new update, you’ll be able to customize even more details of your trucks. Bumpers, light bars, rims, and horns can all be painted to match your truck’s existing paint job. This gives you even more options to personalize your fleet and create a look that suits your own style.

Missions without time pressure:

Another new feature concerns the mission time limit. With Update 1.4.0, you’ll be able to enable or disable the time limit at any time through the options menu. If you prefer to complete missions without the pressure of a ticking clock, you’ll be able to do so with ease. This will be especially useful for heavy-missions, giving you more freedom during your journeys. You can choose your own route, take detours, and simply take more time to enjoy the drive without being restricted by a time limit. Longer traffic light phases or other unexpected delays will no longer be an issue either. If you still enjoy the challenge of completing missions within a set time, you can of course keep the time limit enabled. The choice is yours – you decide how you want to tackle your missions.

We’re looking forward to presenting "Heavy Defense" and Update 1.4.0 to you soon, and we can’t wait to hear your feedback!
