Press release:
Lesquin, 26 January 2022.
NACON and Simteract are today very happy and thrilled to announce that they have just released the second major Early Access update for their railway sim “Train Life – A Railway Simulator” (the update is available right now via early access for PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store).

Five months after its Early Access launch, development studio Simteract is continuing to add new content for Train Life, the first simulator that allows players to live the life of a train driver and manage their own rail company.

With this new update, Train Life now serves parts of Eastern Europe. You can now travel across the German border and around the Czech Republic and Poland to explore new environments.

A new electric locomotive also makes its debut: the Lechner-Koch DP2500. Several scenarios have been added, which provide unique challenges for train drivers and managers.

The Service Center has been updated to provide greater clarity on purchasing and customising locomotives. The various elements to this part of the gameplay – appearance, available upgrades, performance comparisons, parts compatibility, and more – will all delight the most detail-orientated fans.

Finally, there have also been various fixes added to improve the game’s stability, smoothness and realism.

Train Life: A Railway Simulator puts you at the head of a railway company. For the first time in a game in this genre, you are tasked with developing your business and also becoming an experienced train driver. From the management interface, you can hire employees, buy new trains and sign contracts. In the driver cab, you need to control the train’s speed, confirm that the rails are correctly switched and activate the emergency brake if necessary.

NACON and Simteract have focused on creating realistic train models and on the management gameplay to offer both a fun and authentic experience. New content will be added regularly throughout the early access period.

Train Life : A Railway Simulator is available on Steam and on the Epic Games Store.
