It was during NACON Connect from earlier this year that NACON announced a new simulation series with a collection of developers involved called LIFE. While many games from this series are still in early development, the first game simulation players are going to gain access to is Train Life: A Railway Simulator which is being developed by Simteract. It won’t be the full game and it is releasing the early access a little later than originally announced, but Train Life officially hits Steam on August 31st and is planned to come to Epic Games Store at a later date.
Take your post as the head of a railway company. For the first time in a game of this type, you develop your business to become the biggest rail company in Europe: hire drivers, buy new trains and achieve your contractual objectives. This unique management aspect is supported by the game’s detailed trains and driving system.
During the game’s early access period as it grinds the rails towards a full release, content will be added regularly. This new content will include some legendary trains and, ultimately, 10,000 km of track across Europe. This detail and scope, along with dynamic weather, mean each voyage will be a unique experience.
