Railroad Corporation is now leaving Early Access!

Trainees,

Today is the day we’ve all been waiting for – the day when our beloved train tycoon simulator Railroad Corporation exits Early Access and makes a full release here on Steam! 🙌🚂

Race against time to bring settlements together, produce and trade goods and develop new technologies. Fulfil contracts and complete missions, or play the way you want to in the sandbox mode - the choice is yours, so go loco(motive)…



During launch week, we will have a 15% price discount! After launch, there will be a price increase of $5 (varying per currency), so make sure you take advantage of the lower price and grab your copy of Railroad Corporation now!

When Railroad Corporation first launched in Early Access five months ago, it included half of the single player campaign (chapter one) and a tutorial. For the full release today, the second chapter of the campaign has been added to the game, and instead of working for a train company, you now have to establish your own and try to fend off competing businesses in the same regions. Chapter two also adds 6 additional missions, which brings the grand total mission number up to 12.

This release also features additional language support, as well as vastly improved performance and graphics options, that weren’t available in the Early Access build of Railroad Corporation. Languages that will be available are English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Russian and Simplified Chinese.
