First Look at the Massive New Simulation Game Merging Cities Skylines and Factorio

Alright, here we go. Buckle up:

—

You ever dive into one of those crazy, super detailed simulation games? Y’know, like where you’re the mayor, the truck driver, or even, I dunno, a train engineer? Games like Cities Skylines or Microsoft Flight Simulator. They zoom in on specific stuff – your city, your plane. But then there’s this newcomer called Worldwide Rush. It’s like, “Why not do the whole flipping planet?” Seriously, it’s kind of nuts. You’ve got this combo of managing global logistics like some weird mix of Europa Universalis and Factorio. They just dropped a demo too. So, yeah, you can totally check out what I’m rambling about.

Imagine this: you’re not just strategizing—you’re setting up a global transport empire. Yeah, you heard me. Start with HQ, snatch up a bunch of vehicles. We’re talking 120 choices here—buses, trains, planes, uh, even those massive ships. Not kidding.

Your job? Make passengers happy. They wanna go places, so you build routes, get them hotels, juggle logistics like some circus performer. And then there are these AI rivals. They’re sneaky, trying to swipe your customers when you’re not looking.

The scope’s bonkers—like juggling flaming knives while balancing on a unicycle—but the demo keeps it chill. You play in the UK and Ireland with 21 vehicles. Manageable chaos, I guess.

Oh, and yeah, there’s this YouTube link here, teasing you with a thumbnail. (Did it even load right? I always get that static image that makes no sense.)

Expect Worldwide Rush to drop this year, sometime—no clue when exactly. You can poke around Steam, try out the demo. Go on, what’ve you got to lose?

In the meantime, if you’re itching for more simulation or strategy fun, there’s a bunch out there already. Google it, maybe? Keep tabs on gaming news or jump on Discord to argue (or agree?) about this with random gamers and, uh, the writers—who are probably as excited or confused as I am.

So, anyway, have fun with that!
