[p][/p][p]What an incredible couple of days it’s been, we've had such a good time engaging with everyone in this community around the release of Thomas & Friends™: Wonders of Sodor, and we hope you are all excited to get to explore the Island of Sodor like you've never seen it before![/p][p]We want to extend a thank you to everyone who has been involved across our spaces, shared feedback, captured incredible screenshots and to everyone who has jumped into the game so far. You've made the Launch extra special.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]To celebrate the launch of Thomas & Friends™: Wonders of Sodor, we’ve put together a video for you: “The Sights and Sounds of Thomas & Friends™: Wonders of Sodor”! You can watch this below.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]We’re working hard behind the scenes to address the issues / bugs you’ve been experiencing so far. We’ve taken note of all the feedback and are working with the development team to ensure these are ironed out quickly.[/p][p]We've also seen many players jumping into Explore Mode and feeling stuck, or unable to drive the trains they’ve spawned, as passing signals results in the service ending. In order to allow for Explore Mode to work correctly, you'll need to first set a Destination using the map, find an area of the world you'd like to drive to (specifically clicking on the track), and choosing the 'Set Path' option. This will unlock the signals to allow you to drive onwards.[/p][p]There is a brilliant guide from TheBritishAce that can talk you through the steps to set this up, which we highly recommend.[/p][p][/p][p]What's next for Thomas & Friends™: Wonders of Sodor?[/p][p]We know many of you are very eager to know more about what the future holds, but we first want to make sure that your experiences on the Island of Sodor are the best they can be before we share any news here, which is why we're prioritising working through your feedback and our first patch for the game, coming to you soon.[/p][p]We'll share more news on this, but in the meantime we'd welcome your continued discussions and feedback.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Grab James in the Deluxe Edition![/p][p]Don’t forget, the Thomas & Friends™: Wonders of Sodor Deluxe Edition includes James, the North Western Railway’s Number 5 red engine, with four extra adventures!
