Ready to embrace your inner warehouse worker? Whether you’ve been waiting a decade for the next shift or you’re just looking for the most specific simulation of the year, it’s time to clock in.

Extreme Forklifting 3 is officially scheduled to drop into Steam Early Access on April 14th, 2026.

Developed by the indie legend DevM Games—the brilliant mind behind the chaotic Moving Out series and Super Adventure Hand—this third instalment is taking the “Extreme” in its title very seriously. Forget boring industrial parks; we’re heading to a future where humanity is gone and the warehouse keys have been handed over to… giraffes.

Why You Should Be Excited

The Extreme Forklifting series has always been a bit of a cult phenomenon. After the first game unexpectedly topped the App Store charts years ago, fans have been clamouring for a modern, high-octane (well, high-propane) sequel.

Here’s what you can expect when you jump into the driver’s seat this April:

A World of Giraffes: In this physics-driven 3D platformer, you play as a forklift-certified giraffe. Why? Because the future belongs to those with the longest necks.

Hybrid Gameplay: You aren’t just stuck behind the wheel. The game features a “hoof-to-wheel” mechanic where you’ll need to hop out of your vehicle to flip switches, navigate conveyor belts, and solve environmental puzzles.

The Fleet: From nimble 3-wheel electric forklifts for tight corners to heavy-duty propane trucks and even drivable cranes, the variety of machinery is vast.

Warehouse Fashion: Forget high-vis vests. You can customise your giraffe and your rig with scarves, stickers, spoilers, and rims.

Early Access Details

DevM Games is launching in Early Access to fine-tune the “late-game” challenges and expand the vehicle list based on player feedback.

Pro Tip: If you can’t wait until April 14th, there is a free demo available right now on Steam that includes a taste of the warehouse chaos and a surprisingly stable crane-stacking level.

Final Thoughts

It’s been ten years since Extreme Forklifting 2, and the jump in quality is massive. If you enjoy the tactile, slightly frustrating joy of physics simulators like Getting Over It or the quirky charm of Octodad, this belongs on your wishlist.

Extreme Forklifting 3 launches on Steam Early Access on April 14th. Keep it locked to TechMash for a full review once we’ve earned our certification!
