Publisher Kalypso Media and developer Gaming Minds Studios have released the ninth DLC for Railway Empire which will bring players to the land of the Rising Sun.
The Japan DLC add-on brings players to late-1800s Japan where an industrial revolution is booming and the people are crying out for a nationwide railway. After the successful restoration of the Meiji rule, the Land of the Rising Sun’s long-term ambition to develop its own modern, nationwide railway network has become a reality and people from formerly feudal regions are yearning to travel to booming metropolises. Players can lay tracks between mountains and hot springs, using foresight, planning and clever strategy to establish a railway network and facilitate the ‘great commute’, moving Japan into a new industrial age.
The add-on features 2 news scenarios, Rising Sun (1870 – 1890) and Twisted Paths (1900 – 1920) , along with thre new maps of Japan (All, Mid and South) all of which are available in both Free Game and Sandbox modes. Players will be able to take 8 historical engines including the D51 Degoichi, Class 9600 Kyuroku and Class 8620 Hachiroku across 35 cities to discover.
