UK-based publisher Kwalee and independent developer Galaxy Grove are thrilled to announce Steam to Electric, a railway management experience. From the creators of Station to Station and Town to City, the game lets players build and optimise their own railway network, transporting passengers and goods while unlocking some wild (but very real) historical train inventions. As their network grows, players will evolve from steam to electric, balancing simplicity with surprising depth. Easy to pick up but rewarding to master, Steam to Electric is all about building a complex railway empire.
“As a huge fan of trains and of management games myself, it’s a dream come true to make a game about some of the boldest railway innovations,” says game director Joost van Dongen. “From a train powered by literal jet engines to one that drives on a single rail and is kept upright through a complex gyro system, it’s hard to believe that some of these have really existed. But they did, and they worked! In Steam to Electric, we’re giving these amazing inventions a beautiful homage by letting you build them.”
Kwalee and Galaxy Grove have released an announcement trailer offering a first look at some of the game’s historical train models and deep management systems.
