Railway Empire 2 is chugging along to release this May

Kalypso Media and developer Gaming Minds Studios have announced that Railway Empire 2 will depart from the development station on May 25th for most platforms.

The game will launch into Game Pass for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC, as well as PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The game will hit a spur line later in the year when it makes its way to Switch, but there is no time frame for that.

Railway Empire 2 builds upon all the best features of its predecessor and is bigger and better than ever before. Choose from sprawling maps across Europe or North America and grow your network with a selection of 60 historic locomotives. With expansive regional maps, improved track construction, and real-time terraforming, there’s no better time to unleash your inner conductor. Take on the 5-chapter campaign, 14 scenarios, free play, and construction modes, or team up with a fellow tycoon in the cooperative multiplayer mode for up to 4 players.
