What is Railway Empire 2?
In Railway Empire 2, all aboard the fast train to wealth and glory! Put on the coat of a shrewd businessman, take over a modest railway firm in the early 1800s, and transform your steam engines into economic workhorses.
Expand your firm to become the continent's largest railway corporation and outwit your opponents by connecting towns and businesses with an ever-expanding network of train lines, bridges, and tunnels.
You have 60 legendary locomotives at your disposal, all pulling goods and passenger carriages as they usher in a momentous period during the Industrial Revolution.
Railway Empire 2 Gameplay
It'll have far larger maps than the last game. Two huge maps will cover the entirety of the United States and Continental Europe, while smaller regional maps will focus on specific locations. Railway Empire 2 will also have a more intuitive, enhanced track building with automatically placed signals, more significant railway stops, and real-time terraforming.
The game will have 60 historical steam engines, starting in the early 1800s and focusing on running train companies in the 19th century during the railway-driven industrial revolution.
This train-building sequel will undoubtedly focus on its strengths. Kalypso's announcement specifies difficulty settings that appeal to casual trainset builders and those who like challenging transport logistics.
