New Trailer Released by Railroads Online

By August Tales

The magical era of steam engines returns to life in the trailer of Railroads Online. Developed by Stefan Kelnberger and published by indie powerhouse Astragon Entertainment, this game gives players the chance to construct a thriving rail network throughout America’s Midwest, fueled by the iconic locomotives of the past.

Locomotive Showcase: A Nod to History

The latest “Locomotive Showcase” trailer whisks us back to a time when steam engines were king. Many of the models featured in the trailer draw inspiration from those showcased in popular film and television franchises. While the game inches closer to its release on PC and consoles later this year, this trailer certainly fuels the anticipation.

Tactical Management on Wheels

In Railroads Online, railroad enthusiasts get the chance to erect the track network of their dreams. Utilising rails, switches, and stations, players transport goods across a map based on America’s heartland during the golden days of narrow-gauge railroading. Mastering their trade allows players to unlock additional vehicles or wagons, expanding their control over the rails.

Playing Nice on the Tracks

Beyond a single-player mode, Railroads Online allows teams of up to 16 railroaders to plan and tackle sprawling infrastructural projects together, encouraging a diverse division of labour. The use of Unreal Engine’s advanced physics system ensures realistic collisions and dynamic forces, adding a layer of authenticity to the railroading experience.

Unleashing the Fully-Brimmed Toolbox

The game offers an open sandbox world where players can custom design their locomotives. It encourages creativity by providing a vast array of railroad infrastructure components such as tracks, switches, and stations. From operating controls to applying brakes, managing the minutiae of a locomotive is no child’s play in this immersive game.

With the potential to earn money, players are incentivized to transport goods efficiently. This earned capital can then be used to expand the business, buying more locomotives, cars, and related equipment.

If you relish the past glory of steam engines or aspire to conquer the rails, Railroads Online promises an engaging and authentic experience. As we wait for this game to make its full stop at our gaming platforms, let’s revel in the anticipation and enjoy the new trailer. Don’t forget to share this on social media and keep the hype train running!
