Press release:
Duesseldorf/Germany, March 18, 2024.
Out of the city, onto the highway: In the course of PAX East starting this week, publisher astragon Entertainment and developer Aesir Interactive are pleased to announce the “Highway Patrol” Expansion for “Police Simulator: Patrol Officers” which will be available in Summer 2024 for PC, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series S|X and Xbox One with a new trailer!
On top of that, new players eager to dive into the full Police Simulator: Patrol Officers experience can look forward to the Gold Edition, which includes the main game, the Garage Bundle and the Highway Patrol Expansion and will also be available in Summer 2024 for PC, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series S|X and Xbox One.
Become a highway patrol officer
The Highway Patrol Expansion for Police Simulator: Patrol Officers extends the game map beyond Brighton’s borders, opening up driveways to the bustling Brighton highway district and introducing new tasks like high speed monitoring, cargo checks on trucks, and highway assistance.
However, with the highways open, car thefts surge, leading to thrilling chases and tactical maneuvers. Equipped with the new spike strips and roadblocks, officers have even more tools to stop fleeing criminals which are particularly helpful when playing with two players in multiplayer mode.
Additionally, when it comes to accidents on the highway, they must be ready to tackle fires at accident sites using fire extinguishers. To help them accomplish all these new tasks even better, the expansion includes two new vehicles: the new Interstate Police Vehicle ensures that officers can perform their duties with a touch of vintage flair, and the Endurance Police Vehicle is equipped with a heavy-duty device that officers can use to stop fleeing vehicles at full speed.
