Smuggler Simulator

Ultimate Games have announced their latest game for the Nintendo Switch: Smuggler Simulator (developed by 3T Games). It will be released sometime in 2023.

Here’s a trailer, some details, the list of key features, and some screenshots:

Smuggler Simulator, a unique game that will allow you to make a career in this very dangerous profession, will appear on Nintendo Switch in 2023 – announced Ultimate Games S.A. The creators will focus on stimulating players’ creativity and offering a system for procedurally generating locations and missions. The new title will also distinguish itself through, among others, an extensive crafting system and a large dose of humour.
Smuggler Simulator is a singleplayer focused game with a 3D open world and procedurally generated missions and locations. The title will allow you to make a career in a very risky “profession” and move various goods across borders in a more or less spectacular manner. The key to success will be a cunning and creative approach to challenges, involving transferring goods and other commodities while remaining unnoticed. The extensive crafting system, as well as maintaining and upgrading tools of the trade, will also play a significant role.
According to the creators, individual tasks can be performed in different ways, and players’ creativity will play a vital role. For example, they will be able to use traditional smuggling tricks or decide to go for a solution taken straight out of Jackass. Smuggler Simulator will also offer very diverse locations in different parts of the world and, thanks to the procedural generation system, each gameplay session will prove unique.
