Pandemic Train News

[h2]Dear Survivors,[/h2]
We're just one day away from the release. Let us use this occasion, and thank you. For your support, for your trust, for your activity, for all your notes, for all DMs and discussions. Pandemic Train wouldn't be here if it weren't for you.



[h3]Time of release[/h3]
You asked us when the game will become available to purchase. The official release is set for 7 PM CET on Wednesday, October 18th.

[h3]Demo will be available![/h3]
If you're unsure if the game is for you, we have some good news! In the next couple of hours, we will release a brand new demo showing you the first biome of the first train run through Europe. It will allow you to check if Pandemic Train seems like a game for you :) We decided to launch the new demo to make you feel better and more taken care of, so you could buy the game with full confidence that it seems interesting to you :)




[h3]Community Challenge[/h3]
A couple of weeks ago we announced a community challenge. However, we finally decided that even though we've reached some of the set milestones, we want to give you a launch discount of 15% as a "thank you" for your support. The discount will last a week since the release.

[h3]Bundle them up![/h3]
Just if Pandemic Train wasn't enough, we have some amazing bundles prepared for you! They will become available tomorrow in the evening, so make sure to check them out. We will surely remind you of them before the end of the week :)

All right, folks, please, line up at the station! The Pandemic Train will arrive in 24 hours!
If you don't have the game on your wishlists yet, make sure to add it before the release!

See you soon,
Pandemic Train team

[h3]Welcome survivors![/h3]

[h2]There are 2 days left until the release![/h2]

Time is rushing inexorably, but let's slow down for a moment and take a walk through the biomes of Pandemic Train. Let's listen for a moment to the music that accompanies us as we wander through the desolation of Europe.

Today we are not going to burden you with mechanics, solutions, or novelties in the game. Today, for a change, we would like to show you the sounds that will be with you during this journey into the unknown. A journey full of struggle for the survival of your crew. And of all humanity.


Remember, too, that these are the last moments to compete for the maximum discount on the release of Pandemic Train in the community challenge!

[h2]Dear Survivors,[/h2]
Pandemic Train will arrive in 3 days! Isn't that TRAINLING? All right, that was supposed to be a fun mix of train and thrilling. Who caught it?

[h2]Thanks to these Youtubers![/h2]
Anyway, we want to celebrate the upcoming release with some of the YouTube materials with the newest gameplay. Please, mind that these Youtubers received early copies of the game, and the localizations weren't 100% finished then. Now, the game is ready for you in 7 languages: English, Polish, French, Spanish, German, Russian and Simplified Chinese.

[h2]Count down with us![/h2]
Let us know your hopes and your feelings about the game. We're here for you, and we couldn't care more about your opinion on the game. You - the community of the game - are the most important part of its existence, and we truly hope you'll be there with us on the journey further on to support us along the (rail)way.

[h2]Stay on the course! Only 3 days to go![/h2]
Pandemic Train team

[h2]Welcome survivors![/h2]

There are 5 days left until the release!

Continuing the theme of the last devlog, you will again read about the combat phase of Pandemic Train. Today, however, we won't write about our leaders or how to help yourself in battle.

Today will be about our enemies.

[h3]Special abilities of enemies[/h3]
Just as each leader has their own unique abilities, the enemies are also different. Today we will talk about three enemies who have abilities that differ from the rest of the group.

• Leap
  

Otterbear jumps great distances, causing a powerful impact at the landing site.

• Ambush
  

Attack by surprise in the hope of infecting the target before it escapes. Watch where you step.

• Snipers
  

Skilled Asesina who aim from a long distance. Even though you can't see them, don't stay in one place when you notice them targeting you. They don't miss... Take cover or dodge!




[h3]Infection[/h3]
Still an enemy, but no longer as easy to defeat as the previous three. The infection in Pandemic Train has changed its in-game action a little. When the infection bar reaches its limit, the infection will start to take over the leader's life bar, limiting their maximum life in exploration as well as on the train.





[h3]Auto-exploration[/h3]
However, when it comes to combat, there is a way for you not to have to do this. Your leaders, of course, have to fight a battle and are still at risk, but this happens without your participation.




To round off today's devlog, we'd like to remind you that there's still a community challenge going on, where you can win up to 15% off the launch price!

[h3]Hello survivors! [/h3]

The release is getting closer and closer, there are still 12 days left. We would like to remind you that there is a community challenge going on in which you can make Pandemic Train up to 15% cheaper at launch!



While you're waiting for THIS day, let's make your time even more pleasant with information about the world in Pandemic Train.

Let's shed some light on the combat phase. We have a lot of opportunities to develop combat techniques. From choosing different sets of two leaders, to the combat technique itself and the items used.

[h2]Leader[/h2]
Each leader has its own unique abilities like Anna's shots stun enemies or Olena's Molotov cocktails explode on a larger scale and deal more damage. However, they all have one common and unchanging set of basic skills. These are:

[h2]Super shot[/h2]



[h2]Dodge[/h2]



[h2]Assassination from behind[/h2]



[h2]Special items[/h2]
There are also special items available to our leaders that are selected for their inventory each time they leave the train. Such an item can give us more damage resistance or enhance our shots with explosions. As you can see, it in the “super shot” GIF.

We are very curious who will be your favorite leader, and what will be your strategy.
Don't forget to mention our community challenge to your friends and take part yourself. As a reminder: the number of followers and wishlist = a % discount on the release.



See you next week!
