Geek News, News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

astragon Entertainment and developer Stefan Kelnberger are pleased to announce that Railroads Online will leave Steam Early Access later this year. Simultaneously, the sandbox railway simulation will be released for PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The announcement trailer showcases what PC and console players can expect:

Numerous improvements and new content
Since the launch of Railroads Online, new features and content have been added to the game through regular, free updates. These include new locomotives and wagons, buildings, production chains and goods, fuels, and two more lovingly designed maps where players can build their own railway networks.

Based on the feedback from the community, many technical improvements have been implemented over the last three years including adjusted physics performance or construction controls. Last year, the game switched to the Unreal Engine 5, featuring dynamic weather and a day-night cycle. Until leaving Early Access, the game will receive more updates – including a completely revised UI.

Console release and first DLC announced
In addition to the full release on Steam, Railroads Online will be available in stores for PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. With a fully optimized controller support on both new platforms, even more players will soon have the opportunity to build their own rail empire in an open sandbox world, either alone or with other players.

As a thank you and appreciation for the support during the Early Access phase, all Early Access purchasers on Steam will receive the Pioneer Pack free of charge with the full release. This applies retroactively to all current Railroads Online owners.

Railroads Online will be released digitally this autumn for PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S at a price of 39.99€ / $39.99 USD (SRP) or a regional equivalent. A retail version will be released for PlayStation®5 later.

Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV, ‘Frontier’) today invites players to create their own team and take total control of the big decisions as their career unfolds in F1® Manager 2024, which launches digitally today across PC, PlayStation® 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation® 4 and Xbox One for a suggested retail price of £29.99/$34.99/€34.99.

Fans can enhance their experience with F1® Manager 2024: Deluxe Edition, which expands their creative options with five additional classically inspired Create A Team livery patterns, whilst an additional five fictional Race Replay scenarios offer unique single-race challenges, all for a suggested retail price of £39.99/$44.99/€44.99.

F1® Manager 2024 turns F1® fantasy into reality with the new Create A Team mode, where players can experiment with detailed logo and livery creation tools, choosing their challenge level using editable Team Origins to live out their own story and set the starting parameters of their career. Taking their team to the top will require careful management of both talent and resources, from negotiating sponsorships to maintaining their driver and staff mentality, ensuring every aspect of their constructor is ready for race day.

With enhanced AI decision-making ensuring each team is always in the hunt for success, leaving a lasting legacy on Formula 1® requires effective decision making over multiple seasons. Players can cement their position by building a successful stable of up and coming affiliated drivers, or shake up the system by departing their team to take on their legacy with one of the established 10 constructors. The future of the sport is theirs to decide, with the option to simulate races bridging the gap between vital upgrade packages, or bringing tomorrow’s talents to the fore to see who will reign over the next chapter of F1®.

Race weekends place simulation and strategy at the fore, as players react to every moment of tension; from a sudden downpour of rain and a late safety car, to the managed risk of new mechanical failures. Team Principals are required to weigh the cost of every decision and instruct their drivers to deliver the best possible results. Using the new Heli-cam to strategise from the skies or immersing themselves in the action with broadcast style cameras and an impressive 70,000 lines of real team radio, F1® Manager 2024 brings the sport to life like never before.

Thank you for taking on the role of “Anomaly Detection Expert” here at Norn Corp. We are thrilled to have you on board after the mysterious events of March 24 at the Nelson Bros Circus, also known as REVEIL. Your primary responsibility is to report anomalies and observe horror elements, so it might not be that different from your previous job! Shift 87 is out today on Steam so request your key right away. But please, read on! There’s more exciting stuff yet to come!

As an “Anomaly Detection Expert,” you will experience more variety, more environments, and more details than in comparable jobs. You will be able to find up to 66 anomalies. The shift duration, or total playtime, is about 2-3 hours, meaning you’ll have plenty of free time after your shift! However, there is one caveat: 50% of the anomalies may be creepy but easy to spot, while the other 50% are more subtle and easy to miss. Sounds doable? Great! Good luck with not getting paranoid!
