This could definitely be fun.
Publisher Feral Interactive has announced that the company is bringing “Sid Meier’s Railroads!” to Apple’s App Store in April, and that the game is available for preorder now.
The game will arrive on April 15 and will be available for $12.99. Players can create a transport network in locations across America and Europe with 40 famous train engines from the early 19th century to the present day.
Throughout the game, players will be able to compete with infamous railroad barons such as Cornelius Vanderbilt and J.P. Morgan to manage trains, cargo, passengers, and more in the railway management simulator.
The game also features 16 historical and fictional scenarios, each with its own map and unique objectives. For example, players can establish the first passenger line in 1830s Great Britain, connect the American West during the Gold Rush, or help Santa with the Christmas rush at the North Pole.
A Train Table Mode also allows for gameplay with no competition, time limits, or financial constraints, players can create railroads in a relaxed environment.
Firaxis Games originally released Sid Meier’s Railroads! in 2006 for Windows as a sequel to Railroad Tycoon 3. Later, Feral Interactive created a version for Mac OS X in 2012.
Sid Meier’s Railroads! will be available on iPhone 6S and later, any iPhone SE and the 2019 iPod touch. For iPads, it supports the 2019 models for iPad mini and iPad Air and later, the 2017 iPad and later, and any iPad Pro.
The game also requires iOS/iPadOS 15.5 or later to install and run on an iPhone or iPad. Mac users can purchase the game for $9.99 and play it through Steam for machines running macOS Mojave 10.4 or later.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
