Halycon Media

Halycon Media is a German publisher and distributor of simulation games and simulation add-ons. Its official website organizes its catalogue around simulation genres: flight simulation, railway simulation, farming simulation, bus and truck simulation, construction simulation, emergency-service simulation, and other simulation titles, alongside general games, strategy guides (Lösungsbücher) and a release list. The company also maintains a partner programme and a support section with help, hotline, FAQ and patches, indicating a hands-on publishing role that extends beyond simple distribution. Halycon is closely associated with the German simulation ecosystem, particularly the bus-simulation scene. Its website highlights titles such as The Bus and add-ons for OMSI 2, the long-running omnibus simulator. Recent news items on the site announce The Bus DLC – London South and The Bus DLC – Lübeck, an ADL Enviro500 double-decker add-on for OMSI 2, and participation in the Aerosoft Publisher Sale on Steam with Halycon titles discounted by up to 40%. This shows Halycon both develops/publishes its own simulation content and distributes titles through major digital storefronts such as Steam. The company operates primarily in the German-speaking market but sells internationally through digital distribution. Its product strategy focuses on niche, detail-oriented simulation genres with dedicated communities, and it uses FAQ-style community communication to answer player questions about upcoming releases. Halycon Media is a private company; no parent company or stock listing is indicated by the available evidence.

The company also communicated with its community through FAQ collections for upcoming The Bus DLCs, including London South and Lübeck, addressing questions about routes, vehicles, traffic implementation and console plans. Halycon distributes its titles through digital storefronts, notably Steam, and participates in publisher promotions such as the Aerosoft Publisher Sale, where Halycon titles were offered at up to 40% off from 18 September to 1 October 2026.
