In EverRail, the world has frozen over, and humanity’s last hope is a massive battery-powered train roaring across an endless icebound frontier. Players must build, scavenge and survive across a vast, procedurally generated wasteland where mobility is everything, and momentum means life. If the train stops for too long, the cold closes in and the line ends for everyone the moment the train’s battery and the manifest hit zero.

At the heart of EverRail is a simple rule: move or freeze. The train runs on a battery that recharges only while driving, and drains whenever it stops, turning every expedition into a race against time. Players must weigh risk vs. reward as they decide when to halt for supplies, push forward into the unknown and how to allocate energy across the train’s expanding systems.

EverRail refuses to keep players locked inside their mobile base. Players will experience the game’s Tricore Gameplay, a threefold system requiring mastery of distinct modes of traversal (On Rails, In Air or On Foot), either as a single-player or up to four player co-op.

Every rescue matters. Every loss lingers. And every decision affects the fragile ecosystem aboard the train.

EverRail will be playable for the first time during Steam Next Fest: February 2026 Edition, with a playable demo, featuring multiplayer co-op, available from February 23rd to March 2nd

The EverRail Steam Next Fest demo introduces players to the game’s take on a permadeath successor system, a high-stakes twist on traditional survival gameplay mechanics. In the game’s frozen world, the passenger manifest represents the player's life counter. If a player falls to the elements or combat during an expedition, they are not revived as the same character and immediately assume the role of another passenger on the manifest. As long as there are survivors onboard, the journey continues; if the last soul on board perishes, the line ends permanently.

Key Features:

• Train-Based Survival: Players must steer, upgrade, and maintain a massive, high-speed train. Energy production, battery charge, heat, and life support are all tied to motion and upgrades. Every decision you make affects whether the train keeps running or slowly turns into a frozen coffin. Managing power, speed, and systems is as critical as fighting enemies, and stopping at the wrong time can mean death.
• Glider Scouting and Resource Gathering: Unlike survival games that keep players grounded, EverRail utilizes verticality. Use gliders to gain a tactical overview of the world. Scout routes ahead of the train, mark points of interest, and reach otherwise inaccessible areas. Harvest resources and rare isotopes from hazardous clouds while managing altitude, tether range, and remaining power to make it back alive.
• On-Foot Expeditions: To gather resources and rescue survivors, players must stop the engine, enter dangerous locations on foot and brave the cold before it overtakes them. Explore factories, ruins, and dungeons filled with enemies, traps, and environmental hazards. Time is always against you as your batteries drain, forcing you to balance combat, looting, and exploration before you are cut off from power.
• Craft. Build. Upgrade.: Turn what you find into survival advantages. Craft gear, weapons, tools, and modules, upgrade train systems, and redesign the interior of your wagons to support longer journeys. Every upgrade changes how you survive, fight, and explore, turning the train into a fully customizable mobile base.
• Dynamic Winter Wasteland: Travel through an infinite procedurally generated world shaped by ice and decay. No journey is the same. Weather, terrain, enemies, and resource distribution constantly shift, forcing adaptation and planning. As long as passengers remain on board, you can continue pushing deeper into the frozen wasteland.
• Multiplayer - Co-Op: EverRail is built for shared survival with seamless drop in and drop out co op for up to four players. All players share one train, one energy system, and one set of resources, while taking on different roles like driving, glider scouting, crafting, repairs, and passenger management. On expeditions, teamwork is essential to survive combat, secure loot, and make it back before the cold and the draining battery end the run.

EverRail is in development for PC (Steam / Epic Game Store), coming to Early Access in Spring 2026.
