Synthesized from 5 Yomimono stories · updated 3d ago

Aerosoft GmbH has announced a series of simulation titles across 2026, each pairing with different developers and covering distinct niches. The announcements began with Firefighters Code Red on July 21, developed by Chronos North and Smart Ambition, a cooperative firefighting sim with cross-platform play. In August, the publisher announced BERGWERK - A Mining Sim with Hindsight Studios, set in a fictional German mining region, followed by Seaworks: Trap Season with Binary Impact and Alchemical Works, a crab fishing life sim set in the 1990s Pacific Northwest. Later that month, Road Construction Simulator was announced with Caipirinha Games, and in September, Professional Ship Simulator with SWE Systems was set for Steam Early Access.

The titles share a pattern: they focus on realistic, detail-heavy mechanics over arcade action. BERGWERK simulates tunnel supports with physics, Seaworks emphasizes maintenance and steady income, and Professional Ship Simulator models fluid dynamics and onboard systems. All announced games target PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with Professional Ship Simulator launching first on Steam Early Access on September 16, 2026, and a full release expected around mid-2027.

While release dates vary, none of the other titles have confirmed windows beyond 2026 for Seaworks. The publisher's slate shows a consistent investment in niche simulation genres with varied developers.

Professional Ship Simulator Sets Steam Early Access for September 16

Aerosoft and SWE Systems will bring the marine simulation game Professional Ship Simulator to Steam Early Access on September 16. The game lets players operate a range of vessels, from large cargo ships and cruise ships to small tugboats and rescue boats, with an advanced fluid dynamics model that makes wind, waves, currents, bank effects, and propulsion shape how each ship handles. Onboard systems are reproduced in detail, including radar with AIS/CPA tracking, sonar, navigation instruments, radio communication, and power generation and distribution. The open world covers two sea areas built on real geographic data, Rügen Island and the Dover Strait, with more than 40 ports, navigational markers, navigation lights, weather and day/night changes, wildlife, and AI ship traffic. Players take on tasks such as cargo transport, ferry operations, fishing, offshore logistics, towing support, buoy maintenance, rescue, and firefighting. The Early Access version includes the two sea areas, eight mission types, initial scenarios, and tutorials. Ships, missions, and scenarios will be added later, with mod support planned. A full release is expected around mid-2027.

Seaworks: Trap Season Announced as Crab Fishing Life Sim

Aerosoft GmbH announced Seaworks: Trap Season, a crab fishing life simulation game set in the 1990s Pacific Northwest. Developed by Binary Impact and Alchemical Works, it launches this year on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Players start with a small boat, take faxed orders, and sort catches by hand. The game emphasizes maintenance, weather, and steady income over quick riches.

Coal Mining Sim 'BERGWERK' Announced for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S

Publisher Aerosoft GmbH and developer Hindsight Studios announced on August 3 that they are making 'BERGWERK - A Mining Sim', a single-player coal mine management simulation set in the fictional German mining region of Glückauf Valley. Players start with a small plot of land and a pickaxe, then build surface facilities such as headframes, storage, and processing plants while digging procedurally generated multi-level mines underground. The game simulates tunnel supports with physics calculations, so a poorly placed support can cause a roof collapse. Players must also manage power supply, drainage, ventilation, and gas and dust levels. Mining methods range from pickaxes and explosives to longwall mining and room and pillar mining, and the game includes more than 15 drivable heavy machines, including the licensed MAN TGX truck. Coal is transported to the surface via belt conveyors, railways, skip hoists, and trucks, then sold on a market with fluctuating prices. Loans are available when funds run short. The game is planned for PC via Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. A release window has not been announced.
