For the first time in a game of this type, you develop your business to become the biggest rail company in Europe: hire drivers, buy new trains and achieve your contractual objectives! Play as both the driver and company director! Take the controls of your locomotives and grow your railway empire by negotiating deals and developing your network.

Take the controls of your train…
…and travel across Europe with passengers and merchandise. In the Early Access version, drive through Germany, riding in the cab of several different locomotives. Each of these locomotives has its unique characteristics (power, braking, etc.) that you need to fully master to be as effective as possible. Take your passengers through astonishingly beautiful lands, including both town and country, forest and mountains.

You not only have to drive the trains, but you also have to grow your company by optimizing your Passenger and Freight activities. Choose a name, a logo, purchase locomotives, and hire drivers, giving them new contracts and exploring new tracks. You must also maintain your locomotives to prevent breakdowns and handle emergency repairs. You are free to accept or refuse contracts: make the right choices, earn money and develop your company!

After making its first stop on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S in 2022, Train Life: A Railway Simulator is arriving on Nintendo Switch on March 9th.

Train Life involves demanding gameplay based on real-world behavior. You have to respect the rail signals and driving instructions, adapt for rail switches, and manage speed. Make sure you keep an eye on braking distance when you pull into the station and open and close the doors for your passengers. There are also unforeseen situations to manage, such as fallen trees, stalled cars, and trains rolling on your track.

The dynamic weather and day/night cycle mean you have to adapt the way you drive to avoid accidents and damage to the tracks.

This unique management aspect is supported by the game’s detailed trains and driving system. NACON and Simteract have paid special attention to modeling the trains to ensure the game is both fun and authentic.

Key Features:

• Drive faithfully reproduced iconic trains, such as the ICE 3, ICE 4 and NEWAG Griffin
• Create and customize your own trains, from their outer appearance to your cab interior
• Manage your company: hire conductors, choose contracts, build your network, maintain your locomotives to prevent breakdowns and emergency repairs
• Travel 10,000 kilometres of track through the towns and countrysides of Eastern Europe, Western Europe and the Alps region
• Visit a wide range of true-to-life stations, such as Berlin Central Station and Zurich Main Station
• Follow the railway signage while adapting to the switches and managing speed, track changes, braking distances, station arrivals, and the opening and closing of doors
• Handle unexpected situations, such as a tree on the line, snow build-up on the tracks, or another train on your track
• Adapt your driving to the weather conditions and the time of day to prevent accidents, day and night, through downpours and blizzards!
