What’s New in Railroad Corporation 2?

There are already a bunch of features in the launch version of Railroad Corporation 2, and we plan to offer way more as we move through Early Access. We’ve prepared a roadmap highlighting our plans which is displayed in this separate blog. But for now, let's focus on what’s already in the game.

Building on the foundations of its predecessor, this second edition expands on core features, while also introducing new features for additional strategic depth, including:

• Electrification & Expanded Railroad Building: You can now electrify your tracks, allowing electric locomotives to power through your network. Additionally, new tools have been introduced to refine track laying, including parallel snapping, grid-based placement, and the ability to place tracks over other tracks (also known as diamond crossings).
  
• Detailed Locomotive Reports: Get detailed insights into your locomotives, including statistics about their top speed, max pulling mass, monthly upkeep, and other advanced specifications.
  
• Signal Mechanics: Railroad Corporation 2 introduces signal mechanics to control the flow of traffic and ensure locomotives are running smoothly across junctions.
  
• Headquarters & New Departments: You can choose strategic locations for your headquarters and train stations, and unearth new materials to trade with using the Geology department.
  
• Financial & Operational Insights: Gain a clearer view of your financials with the new reporting tool. This feature provides detailed insights into your company’s activities, a snapshot of how your competitors are doing, and essential market information.

What’s available on Early Access Launch?
In addition to the expanded core features and new options, you can explore the game through a variety of game modes, including:

• Campaign Story Mode: Embark on your railroad journey with four initial missions, with new missions being added throughout the Early Access period.
  
• Multiplayer Mode: Test your strategic skills in cooperative or versus scenarios for up to 4 players. Team up with a business partner or face off against others, with distinct maps designed to challenge your strategic prowess among other entrepreneurs.
  
• Sandbox Mode: Unleash your creativity with sandbox mode, allowing you to build and manage your railroad corporation without constraints. With all 10 locomotives unlocked, and all research options completed, you’re free to experiment with different strategies, design intricate railroad networks, and explore the game’s features at your own pace.

We hope you’re as excited as we are for this next step.

Thank you for being part of our community, and we look forward to seeing you on the rails soon.

First of all, we want to extend a big thank you for your understanding and patience regarding the recent delay of Railroad Corporation 2. We know many of you have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to jump right into the heart of the industrial revolution after all! While delays are never easy, we truly believe it was the right decision to ensure that we can deliver the best possible experience when we launch into Early Access on October 21st, 2024.

As a small consolation while you wait for the release of Railroad Corporation 2, we're excited to announce that we're bringing back the Railroad Corporation 2 Next Fest demo as a part of Steam’s Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Fest! For one week, you'll have the chance to revisit June's demo and get familiarised with the game ahead of launch! It’s the perfect opportunity to get a hands-on preview of the core mechanics and the enhancements that shape the sequel.

In addition to the demo, we’ll be running a sale on Railroad Corporation 1 and its DLC during the festival! So if you’ve missed out on the original or want to see what all the fuss is about before the sequel drops, now is the perfect time to dive in.

Once again, we appreciate your patience as we work hard to refine Railroad Corporation 2 ahead of its Early Access release in October. We’re as excited as you are for the journey ahead and can’t wait for you to finally get to experience everything we’ve been working on.

Hey everyone!

We wanted to dedicate a log today to update you all about the release date of Railroad Corporation 2. After much consideration, we’ve made the tough decision to delay the launch to October 21st, 2024.

We know how eager you are to dive into the game, and we truly appreciate all the excitement and support we've received. However, after some extensive testing, we've identified a number of bugs and areas that require our immediate attention. To ensure that player experiences are as smooth, fun, and polished as possible before the Early Access release, we feel that we need a bit more time to work through these issues.

We understand that delays can be disappointing, and we sincerely apologize for this. That being said, we believe that with the extra time taken, it’ll be worth it in the long run, and we’re excited to share the improved version of the game with you soon.

If you have any questions, feedback, or like to stay updated, feel free to drop them on the Steam Discussion page, or on our Discord.

Thank you again for your patience and continued support. We’ll keep you updated with our progress and will have more to share as we approach the new launch date!

See you on October 21st!

I am forever looking for a game to replace Transport Tycoon (or OpenTTD) in my affections. I know there are several railway management sims kicking around Steam, but I haven't found the one that does it for me yet. Could it be Railroad Corporation 2? It's a train tycoon game in which you lay tracks through the early 20th century, and it's launching in Early Access on September 9th.
