Hello everyone!
It’s officially autumn and we’re slowly getting closer to the Full Release of Railroads Online. But before we get there, there is a very special date right ahead. Do you remember, what this is about? Yes, you’re right! Almost 3 years ago, we first released this game to the public and so much has happened since then! We are beyond thankful for these past years and can’t wait to reach this milestone! To celebrate, we will push an exciting update with loads of content and quality of life improvements!
Here is: The Anniversary Update, coming on October 1st!
You already got a little sneak peak of our plans a couple weeks ago, during the Railroads Online Showcase at this year’s gamescom. So now, let’s dive into the details of what this update has in hold for you!
Check out a completely new Interface!
The UI is getting a completely new look with smoothed out designs and animations! That includes all the different menus, like the main menu, which you can see above and the buy menu, shown below!
You don’t want to start at 0?
From this update on, you will be able to select Prelaid Maps and start with a base build, including tracks and buildings to give you a head start when starting a new session! As a beginner, you will also get an idea of what you can do in the game and where to start!
Load and unload directly from the car!
For the comfort and ease of it, we will integrate a feature that lets you load and unload from the cars directly and jump from one car to another, while looking from a new camera perspective!
A new flight mode!
You will be able to toggle the flight mode in the radial menu! Therefore, you can decide for yourself whether you want to use this mode for track construction, cutting trees, rerailing or simply to check out the map!
Ingame Chat
Best for last, right? The game will finally get an In-game Chat that lets you chat with your friends and communicate easily during your sessions!🎉
We hope, you’re all looking forward to this update! Don’t miss out on the DevVlog this weekend, which will be uploaded on our YouTube channel for all the details on the changes!
We’ll see you on our anniversary, October 1!
Your Railroads Online Team 💜
