Hey everybody, We finally set things in stone, so we want to share with you our current plan for the upcoming weeks: First things first: Bounty Train will be released 16.05.2017! :D We are very happy to announce we will leaving early access May, 16. We will of course support the game after this date, with bug fixes and the intended DLC to follow (more information will become available after launch) With the release setup, we also are happy to announce the supported languages for Bounty Train: French, Polish, Spanish, traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, updated English, updated German, updated Ukrainan and updated Russian. The Bounty Train release will add to the general storyline, adds new quests, Achievements and overall improvements based on your feedback (The Preview log is soon to follow – please look into this for detailed information). There also will be a closed beta test for launch balance, and final languages, starting next week :) To participate, just let us know in the comments wou would like to take part in it, and we will contact you directly over steam. As this will be pretty restricted and focussed on balance, please understand we will not open this test up immideatly for a bigger numbers of testers. What about the Trainium Content? We will add the official soundtrack most likely before Bounty Train´s release, so you should be able to download it before release, so you should be able to download it before May 16th. Please note, as we didn´t have the distribution rights for the main theme at the given time, this track will not be available. We are very sorry about this, but currently we aren´t allowed to ship it. The other four Soundtracks will be available via Steam. The Arbook is currently in production, and might take additional time – we are hoping to get it done for release, or shortly after. The ingame rewards should already be available to all Trainium users, so if you have any issues – please let us know. Last but not least, the DLC. We will share additional information about the Content to expect and when it will be available shortly after launch. Kind Regards, Bounty Train Team

Be prepared to conquer the Wild West on rails! Mount and design your very own train with plenty of detailed equipment, hire a loyal, bold and selfless crew and travel through the dangerous Wild West. Find your way by cleverly using your resources and by shipping goods and passengers. Solve problems your own way, either through diplomacy, violence or bribery.

Explore the dangerous life, the accurate historic events and contemporary inventions of the North American/US 19th century. Acquire one of the most legendary steam machines and transform it into a fortress on rails. Fulfill surprising quests and face notorious bandits, vengeful Natives and even more enemies. You can only achieve this journey of your life, if you pay attention to all these thrilling factors.

• Control true to original locomotives, expand and design them in various ways
  
• Assort an efficient crew and overcome the challenges of North America together
  
• Prove yourself by handling chase-fights and ambushes, but be careful and inventive: resources are scarce and technology isn't always reliable
  
• Explore the America of the 19th century, visit real-life cities, trade and provide goods
  
• Experience an exciting, non-linear story – reunite with your family and prevent the forced removal of the Natives
  
• Influence real historical events and inventions, and change the course of history
  
• Choose one of four huge factions – or switch sides in the game process
