[UPDATED] Transport Tycoon To Hit Android Screens October 3rd, 2013

A few months ago, we heard about plans to bring Chris Sawyer’s classic transport management game, Transport Tycoon, to Android and iOS sometime this year. This was certainly cause for some nostalgic joy as many of us will fondly remember the days when Transport Tycoon would take up hours of our lives, but from the teaser that was released with the announcement, there was no mention of a release date beyond “sometime in 2013”.

Luckily, there has been a second trailer released today which does give us a loose release window of October 2013 as well as giving us some gameplay from the upcoming mobile game. Check it out:

UPDATED: We’ve just gotten the press release which says the release of Transport Tycoon will be on October 3rd for all platforms.

It looks like it hasn’t aged a day, perhaps almost literally. More than anything, Transport Tycoon looks like a mobile optimized version of the original PC game, but what it offers over Open TTD, which has been mimicking Transport Tycoon for some time on Android already, remains to be seen. I am worried a little that the gameplay portions of the trailer appear to have been recorded in 4:3 resolution, but hopefully the finish product will scale for widescreen resolutions.

Are you looking forward to getting the genuine Transport Tycoon on Android? Let us know if you’re up for some old-school transport management.
