I am forever looking for a game to replace Transport Tycoon (orOpenTTD) in my affections. I know there are several railway management sims kicking around Steam, but I haven’t found the one that does it for me yet. Could it beRailroad Corporation 2? It’s a train tycoon game in which you lay tracks through the early 20th century, and it’s launching in Early Access on September 9th.

If you’ve ever played any of these games, you know what do. You build a choo-choo empire as you lay tracks, buy trains, hire staff, and seek to effeciently transport goods between various towns and trade depots. Railroad Corporation 2 then adds an extra wrinkle with its turn-of-the-century setting, in which you must continue to upgrade your stock to stay ahead of your competition as electrification revolutionises the railway.

There’s not a lot of detail about its planned Early Access journey on its Steam page, butthe announcementdoes say it’ll be polished and expanded “over the course of the year”. At launch it’ll include four campaign missions, and online multiplayer with up to four players in either co-op or versus modes.
