Exclusive digital pre-order package offers discount and DLC bonus.
All PlayStation passengers, please make your way to the platform! Kalypso Media is pleased to announce the immediate availability of an exclusive pre-order offer on the PS4 version of Railway Empire on the PlayStation® Store, offering aspiring tycoons a bonus skin for the ‘Super Hudson’ locomotive, as well as a 10% discount for PlayStation® Plus subscribers.
To celebrate the announcement and to give PS4 players an idea of what to expect when the game launches in the UK and export territories on 26th January 2018, Kalypso is excited to share the first official footage from the console version of Railway Empire in a brand-new gameplay trailer.
In Railway Empire, you will create an elaborate and wide-ranging rail network, purchase over 40 different trains modelled in extraordinary detail, and buy or build railway stations, maintenance buildings, factories and tourist attractions to keep your travel network ahead of the competition. You’ll also need to hire and manage your workforce if you want to ensure an efficient train service, whilst also develop over 300 technologies ranging from mechanical improvements to the trains themselves to workplace infrastructures and advanced amenities as you progress through five eras of technological innovations.
However, you can’t just build and research your way to the top – the competition never sleeps, and to keep your business on track you’ll have to survive against up to three rival tycoons. To get to the top you may have to resort to more cutthroat tactics as you attack and sabotage your opponents through raids and industrial espionage.
