The year 2019 has been very busy and exciting for our team. We're still working on improving the game and releasing workshop integration. These changes are not ready yet, so we wanted to give you something to enjoy during the holidays, for free.
We present to you: Christmas Rush! 🎅🏻
Christmas Rush is a (you guessed it) Christmas-themed scenario for those wishing to put their skills to the test. In this challenge, it is your job to bring presents to boys and girls across the map. You will be able to play as a snowman, an elf, or as Santa Claus himself, and start off with a number of American locomotives, depending on who you choose to play as. You can find the challenge in the "Free Game" mode, under the "Challenges" tab.
Owners of the Railroad Corporation Deluxe Edition also receive a third 4K wallpaper! We're not spoiling what that is though. 🎁
Good luck, happy holidays, and see you 2020! ❄️

Today is the day we’ve all been waiting for – the day when our beloved train tycoon simulator Railroad Corporation exits Early Access and makes a full release here on Steam! 🙌🚂
Race against time to bring settlements together, produce and trade goods and develop new technologies. Fulfil contracts and complete missions, or play the way you want to in the sandbox mode - the choice is yours, so go loco(motive)…
During launch week, we will have a 15% price discount! After launch, there will be a price increase of $5 (varying per currency), so make sure you take advantage of the lower price and grab your copy of Railroad Corporation now!
When Railroad Corporation first launched in Early Access five months ago, it included half of the single player campaign (chapter one) and a tutorial. For the full release today, the second chapter of the campaign has been added to the game, and instead of working for a train company, you now have to establish your own and try to fend off competing businesses in the same regions. Chapter two also adds 6 additional missions, which brings the grand total mission number up to 12.
This release also features additional language support, as well as vastly improved performance and graphics options, that weren’t available in the Early Access build of Railroad Corporation. Languages that will be available are English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Russian and Simplified Chinese.
Today we are also launching the Railroad Corporation Deluxe Edition! This DLC includes exclusive new skin for the 4-4-0 American locomotive The Jupiter, additional in-game music, five new player portraits and two desktop wallpapers of game artwork.
For players that already have the base game, the DLC can be bought here. If you don't have the base game, take advantage of the discount and purchase the Deluxe Edition base game and DLC bundle here.
We received some amazing, funny and creative names, but there could only be a few winners. After a long morning, we've decided to choose these names as our favorites:
Sunset Express Silver Stallion Trevithick's Angel
...and as a bonus for making us laugh...
4-0-4 Not Found
Congratulations!

In November 2019, Railroad Corporation will exit Early Access and make a full release on Steam. This new release will include chapter two of the game - including lots of unseen missions, maps and new challenges! To celebrate this, we have a completely new trailer for you to watch below!
