Good news for fans of chaotic co-op games. Independent studio Indoor Astronaut announced during the PC Gaming Show that a sequel to the excellent and adorable
Unrailed! was in development. Titled
Unrailed 2: Back on Trackit will be released in early access on Steam next year.
The formula obviously remains the same: collect resources to build rails and allow this tirelessly launched train to continue its journey. With each stop the possibility of improving your wagons to unlock new elements or other storage. All while traveling through varied biomes in a procedurally generated journey.
But above all, this sequel introduces many new features to spice up the gaming experience. Progression will now take place in a scenario which will offer branches to different environments. Side quests and bosses are also on the program. A way of making each part different to offer a little replayability to the title. New improvements are also promised, including a cannon to propel resources and teammates, or the possibility of creating an additional conveyor belt to pass materials over the locomotive. Or even a versus mode allowing up to eight players to compete against each other.
Finally, all this would not be complete without a level editor, which will allow you to create your own map or test the creations of other players. Early access for Unrailed 2, chosen by the studio to test all these new features and obtain feedback from the community, will begin in 2024 on Steam.
