Monster Train 2 revealed for 2025 release and you can play the demo right now

The privitisation of British Rail, now that's the real monster. Please subscribe to my Substack for more scorching social commentary. Actually, here's a far more fun thing you can click on: a Steam demo for Monster Train 2. If you ignored the ennui-drenched tannoy announcement because you were paying sixteen pounds at Cafe Nero for a limp panini last time around, Monster Train is a card flickenin' roguelite strategy, and one of the better ones, too. Here's a trailer.

All Aboard! Monster Train 2 Has Arrived – Play the Demo!



We’re very excited to show you what the developers at Shiny Shoe have been working on!

If you’re already familiar with the series, Monster Train 2 builds upon the classic roguelike-deckbuilder gameplay introduced in the first game, where you’ll battle enemy factions vertically across your train’s tiered rooms to defend your Pyre at the top.

If you’re new to Monster Train, don’t worry! It’s easy to learn, but hard to master. Collecting cards, customizing your deck, and developing strategies is half the fun!

In this demo, you’ll get to play with two of Monster Train 2’s five new clans: the Banished and the Pyreborne. Each clan has its advantages, and experimentation is key to survival. There is much to be learned, even in crushing defeat.

Although the demo features a full run experience, a significant amount of content is locked, and you won’t be able to fight many of the new Titan-corrupted enemies that will be included in the full game. We’re saving that punishment for later…

To celebrate today’s exciting announcement—we’re inviting you to hang out with the Shiny Shoe team! CEO Mark Cooke and Creative Director Andrew Krausnick will be hosting two livestreams today at 11:00 AM PT / 2:00 PM ET and 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM ET over on Twitch.

They’ll be playing the demo, answering your questions, and chatting with the community. Plus, other team members will be hanging out in chat—stop by and say hi!

Thanks so much for playing! We hope you enjoy this early taste of Monster Train 2. We're looking forward to hearing your feedback as we continue refining the game ahead of release, and we can’t wait to share the full experience with you later this year.

It’s time to raise some Hell in Heaven!
