Numerous improvements and new content
Since the launch of Railroads Online, new features and content have been added to the game through regular, free updates. These include new locomotives and wagons, buildings, production chains and goods, fuels, and two more lovingly designed maps where players can build their own railway networks.

Based on the feedback from the community, many improvements have been implemented over the last three years including adjusted physics performance or construction controls. Last year, the game switched to the Unreal Engine 5, featuring dynamic weather and a day-night cycle. Until leaving Early Access, the game will receive more updates – including a completely revised UI.

Console release and first DLC announced
In addition to the full release on Steam, Railroads Online will be available in stores for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. With a fully optimized controller support on both new platforms, even more players will soon have the opportunity to build their own rail empire in an open sandbox world, either alone or with other players.

As a thank you and appreciation for the support during the Early Access phase, all Early Access purchasers on Steam will receive the Pioneer Pack free of charge with the full release. This applies retroactively to all current Railroads Online owners.

Railroads Online will be released digitally this autumn for PS5, and Xbox Series X|S at a price of 39.99€ / $39.99 USD (SRP) or a regional equivalent. A retail version will be released for PS5 later.

For PC the game is already available in Steam Early Access. With the Full Release in Fall the game will cost 34.99€ / $34.99 USD (SRP). Until the release of the full version, fans of Railroads Online can expect additional updates including more content and general game improvements.

Lyon, FRANCE – 21st May, 2024 – Battles are colliding in CALL OF DUTY with a new collab between Bandai Namco Europe and Call of Duty, bringing legends from the Gundam series to the front lines. Inspired by the towering mecha that captured the imagination of Gundam fans for generations, CALL OF DUTY has new Operator Skins based on iconic Mobile Suit from the series. Soon, in-game battles will see Operator Skins, Weapon Blueprints, Finishing Moves, and more inspired by fan-favorite Mobile Suits: The RX-78-2 Gundam complete with Beam Rifle and RX-78-2 Shield; Char’s MS-06S Zaku II and its devastating Heat Hawk, and the XVX-016 Gundam Aerial with its powerful Aerial Rebuild Beam Rifle.

The Mobile Suit Gundam Legends bundles will begin deploying to the front lines next moth for a limited time. But since Gundam is for everyone, for the duration of the event, a variety of progression rewards will be available to anyone playing CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE III, CALL OF DUTY: WARZONE, and CALL OF DUTY: WARZONE MOBILE, including a Gundam-themed Weapon Blueprint, Weapon Camo, Vinyls, Sticker, Emblem, Weapon Charm and Calling Cards.

The three Gundam Tracer Packs available for purchase during the event celebrate Gundam in style. First up, the Tracer Pack: Mobile Suit – RX-78-2 Gundam puts Amuro Ray’s classic Mobile Suit on full display, with in-game weapon blueprints for the Beam Rifle, Beam Saber and RX-78-2 Shield. Dispatch enemies with the Newtype Finisher finishing move, bring the lucky Haro weapon charm into battle, and more for even the most ardent EFSF fan. Next up, the Tracer Pack: Mobile Suit – MS-06S Zaku II shows off Zeon’s ace pilot, Char Aznable.

The Red Comet takes to battle with the classic Zaku Machine Gun, Heat Hawk melee weapon, and Warship Destroyer rifle. Ruthlessly eliminate foes with the savage Searing Slash finishing move, and proudly display loyalty to Zeon with weapon charms, stickers, and more. Finally, win glory for GUND-ARM with Tracer Pack: Mobile Suit – XVX-016 Gundam Aerial.

Mobile Suit Gundam Tracer Packs will be available to purchase beginning in June, and full details of each of their contents can be found on the official blog.

Since its debut in 1979, the Gundam franchise has centred around gifted pilots commanding technologically advanced machines into the onslaught of conflict – mirroring the challenges players face in CALL OF DUTY. The Gundam franchise first started as an anime in 1979, and now spans a collection of toys and collectibles, animated series, feature-length films, and a wide variety of video games.
