Defend your Pyre in the classic three-tiered, vertical gameplay that made the original roguelike deckbuilder a hit.

Powerful beings known as Titans have seized control of Heaven. A makeshift alliance is formed between former angels and demons, who must learn to work together against their common foe.

Now, you must command these clans aboard newly forged trains, and embark on your journey through Hell, Heaven, and the Abyss, to defeat the Titans before they destroy this world.

Chaos awaits beyond the gates!

Publisher Big Fan and developer Shiny Shoe announced that Monster Train 2 will gain its biggest post-launch update yet in Destiny of the Railforged, coming to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on Feb. 2 at $9.99. 

Destiny of the Railforged will launch on Nintendo Switch shortly after. 

Destiny of the Railforged Features

• An All-new Game Mode: Brave the new Soul Savior mode to wrest powerful Souls from the clutches of the unstoppable Lifemother and her twisted children
• Battle a crew of new bosses in any order you wish, enduring curses with each beast slain in exchange for access to boosted rewards
• Equip the Souls you free from each boss to cards in your deck to earn a huge array of powerful effects
• Amass power as you unlock Souls, advancing meta progression and strategic possibilities while conquering a challenge wholly unique from the base game
• Fearsome New Enemies: Soul Savior’s cosmic setting beckons a horde of new monsters keen to wreak havoc in allegiance with some familiar foes
• New Playable Forces: Available for play in all game modes and existing content, the formidable Railforged Clan that built the very trains you battle on throughout the series is ready to join the battle for the first time through two new playable characters:
• Lead the clan as Herzal, the renowned blacksmith that personally crafted the Rail you ride and the Boneshaker train featured in Monster Train
• Realize the might of Heph, the hammer-wielding powerhouse who crafted the Covenant Outpost and the Skullcrusher engine central to Monster Train 2

Separately from Destiny of the Railforged, Shiny Shoe will also welcome the Wurmkin Clan into Monster Train 2 on Feb. 2 as an addition free to all players. The Wurmkin’s abilities have been comprehensively refined to align with the feature set and design of Monster Train 2. This mighty Clan rose from the depths of hell in the original Monster Train where they became a name feared by foes across the land thanks to their proficiency in wide-reaching buffs and spells.

Destiny of the Railforged follows a generous cadence of free content updates dealt to tacticians since Monster Train 2’s initial launch, each of which added significant new challenges and strategic opportunities to master.

You’re in command! Choose from a selection of five brand new clans, each with its own unique strengths and gameplay to forge strategies fitting your personal playstyle. With three vertical levels to defend against dangerous new enemies, you’ll need to recruit powerful new units, upgrade cards, and experiment to survive. Can you defeat the all-new and ultra-challenging Titans?

Reach your deck’s full build potential with all new Room and Equipment Cards. Room Cards add impressive boosts to your train, allowing you new strategic advantages over your foes. Equipment Cards can be applied to units, giving them a variety of bonuses to aid you in battle!

The Covenant Outpost is the bustling hub that you’ll visit after each run. From here, you’ll have access to Monster Train 2’s core features, as well as experience character interactions that move the story forward.

• Pyre Hearts: Each Pyre Heart brings unique functionality to gameplay. Unlocking them not only provides another way to customize your run before departing, but also plays a key role in advancing the story.
• Dimensional Challenges: Ready for a new twist on your adventure? This mode offers handcrafted challenges, new Mutators, and unique cosmetic rewards to be earned as you complete them.
• Train Customization: Unlock new parts for your train and customize it to suit your personal style.

• Daily Challenges: Take on a new challenge every day with a hugely modified run featuring brand new mutators, as well as some returning old favorites. Compete globally and against friends, and climb the leaderboards with a skill-focused scoring system.
• Celestial Alcoves: The rapid expansion of the Rail has attracted many new visitors to Hell. Encounter a wide variety of random events with exciting gameplay and maybe even a few surprises from outside of the Monster Train universe.
• One of the most requested features by Monster Train players is here! Travel the Rails with ever-increasing difficulty to test your skills and see how long you can survive. You can even compare your stats against your friends!
