About the Game
Railway Empire 2 features bigger, more detailed and lively maps than ever before. The whole of the US and continental Europe are covered in two huge, sprawling maps, whilst more detailed maps put the focus on specific regions of each continent. Improved track construction helps you focus on the important decisions as you drive the economy and help the growth of the cities. Signals are placed automatically, bridges can hold up to 4 tracks and the expandable train stations can now have up to 8 tracks.
Choose from 6 different characters to lead your railway company, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Play the 5-chapter campaign or choose any of the 14 different scenarios. Set your own difficulty in the fully customisable Free Play mode or build the perfect rail network in construction mode. Tackle the competition of your railway empire together with friends in Co-op Multiplayer. You can also board one of your trains and gaze upon the scenery passing by as the iron horse speeds along the tracks while you sit back and enjoy the view.

Your Railway Empire 2 Team,
All platforms
- Fixed several rare crashes .

- Fixed an issue in Tutorial 2 where the Confirm button was hidden by a speech bubble.
- Fixed an issue in Tutorial 3 where the player was unable to proceed because of an engine breakdown.
- In Tutorial 4, the waiting time for Sacramento reaching 40.000 citizens has been reduced.
- Fixed an issue in Tutorial 5 where the player got stuck if an industry is bought too early.
- Fixed an issue in Tutorial 5 where players could get stuck if they didn’t have enough money to participate in the auction.

PC only
- Fixed an issue with the game requiring the AVX CPU feature which lead to crashes on very old CPUs that don’t have it (this affects 10+ years old CPUs). Instead of crashing, the game will instead not display videos on these CPUs anymore as a temporary workaround. We will provide a thorough fix in a later patch.
PS5 only
- Fixed an issue where the trophies for finishing Campaign missions were not getting awarded. Loading a save game just before a mission was finished and finishing the mission again will now properly unlock the trophy.
Xbox One consoles/PS4
