– Kalypso Media and Gaming Minds Studios have today announced
the upcoming tycoon simulation game Railway Empire which is
scheduled for release in Q1 2018 for PlayStation®4, Xbox One,
PC, Mac and Linux. Starting in 1830’s America players will enter
the golden age of steam where they must expand their business
from coast to coast across 100 years of booming industry by
out-thinking and outmaneuvering their rivals, researching
innovative new technologies and expanding their network across a
huge gaming world. The new trailer showcases some of the key
gameplay features available to players as they journey through
the United States steam industrial revolution building and
managing their very own rail company.
About Railway Empire
In Railway Empire, you will create an elaborate and wide-ranging
rail network, purchase over 40 different trains modelled in
extraordinary detail, and buy or build railway stations,
maintenance buildings, factories and tourist attractions to keep
your travel network ahead of the competition. You’ll also need
to hire and manage your workforce if you want to ensure an
efficient train service, whilst also develop over 300
technologies ranging from mechanical improvements to the trains
themselves to workplace infrastructures and advanced amenities
as you progress through five eras of technological innovations.
However, you can’t just build and research your way to the top –
the competition never sleeps, and to keep your business on track
you’ll have to survive against up to three rival tycoons. To get
to the top you may have to resort to more cutthroat tactics as
you attack and sabotage your opponents through raids and
industrial espionage.
