Japan DLC coming to Railway Empire this May

April 29, 2021 by Andrew Newton

After listening to the requests of the Railway Empire community, Kalypso Media and developer Gaming Minds Studios have announced they will be releasing the Japan DLC on 7th May.  This ninth DLC in the series (others include Great britain and the US) will be available for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store as well as the Microsoft Store and Playstation Store, it is also due to be released on Nintendo switch at a later date.

The Japan DLC takes players to Japan in the late-1800s where an industrial revolution is thriving and the population needs a cast iron infrastructure to transport goods and people.  The former feudal regions are wanting to travel to the booming cities where jobs and the prospects of money are too tempting to ignore and it’s up to players to ensure there’s a nationwide railway network capable of handling the demand.

Players will be able to plan and build tracks through the Japanese landscape, moving through mountains and amongst the cherry blossoms and move japan swiftly and soundly into the industrial age.

The update features:

  • Two brand new scenarios: ‘Rising Sun’ (1870 – 1890) and ‘Twisted Paths’ (1900 – 1920).
  • There are 3 new maps of Japan (All, Mid and South) and are available to play in Free Game and Sandbox modes.
