Monster Train 2 is picking up steam with the Destiny of the Railforged update
Big Fan Games and developer Shiny Shoe have announced Destiny of the Railforged, a massive new update for Monster Train 2 and is coming to most platforms next week. Check out the launch trailer for it below.
The update will come to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on February 2nd, with Nintendo Switch to get it soon after, no word on how soon is soon though.
One of the reasons why this is a big new update, it has an all-new game mode for players to enjoy. Called Soul Savior, wrong spelling is from the developers, players will get to wrest powerful Souls from the clutches of the unstoppable Lifemother and her twisted children. Players will get to battle a crew of new bosses in any order you wish, enduring curses with each beast slain in exchange for access to boosted rewards.
Once you have beaten the boss, you can equip the Souls you free from them to cards in your deck to earn a huge array of powerful effects. As you unlock more souls, your power will increase and in turn advance the meta progression and strategic possibilities while conquering a challenge wholly unique from the base game.
In addition the following is also being added to the game:
Fearsome New Enemies: Soul Savior’s cosmic setting beckons a horde of new monsters keen to wreak havoc in allegiance with some familiar foes
New Playable Forces: Available for play in all game modes and existing content, the formidable Railforged Clan that built the very trains you battle on throughout the series is ready to join the battle for the first time through two new playable characters:
Lead the clan as Herzal, the renowned blacksmith that personally crafted the Rail you ride and the Boneshaker train featured in Monster Train
Realise the might of Heph, the hammer-wielding powerhouse who crafted the Covenant Outpost and the Skullcrusher engine central to Monster Train 2
All the above content will cost money, but don’t worry if you can’t buy in just yet as there is a free update coming as well. This free update will add the Wurmkin Clan to the game, their abilities have been comprehensively refined to align with the feature set and design of Monster Train 2. This mighty Clan rose from the depths of hell in the original Monster Train where they became a name feared by foes across the land thanks to their proficiency in wide-reaching buffs and spells.
We reviewed the game when it launched last year and found it to be fun, but it had issues, the developers have address some our issues with their large array of updates and content drops. The game is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
