Originally slated for release tomorrow, the full launch of RailGods of Hysterra has been postponed, as developer Troglobytes Games and publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment have decided to take additional time to refine the game. In light of this delay, a new story trailer has been unveiled, offering a glimpse into the cooperative base-building survival action experience that awaits players.
Enhancements and Feedback
The decision to push back the launch date to May 7 on Steam comes after thorough internal playtests and valuable feedback from testers. The development team expressed their commitment to delivering an experience that aligns with the high standards players expect. “Your excitement and feedback have inspired us to refine key features, enhance the game’s stability, and improve the overall gameplay,” the update on the Steam page notes. “It is essential to us that your first experience with RailGods of Hysterra is both memorable and truly satisfying.”
Set in a world steeped in waking nightmares, RailGods of Hysterra invites players to embark on a journey either solo or with a cooperative group of up to five. The game draws inspiration from the eerie tales of H.P. Lovecraft, where Old Gods have distorted the earth and its inhabitants into unimaginable horrors. Players will need to band together as Dreamers and form a connection with a powerful RailGod—an ancient entity clad in the guise of a formidable locomotive.
Gameplay Features
In this immersive experience, players will purge encroaching madness, unlock formidable GodKeeper abilities, and customize their skills to mount a rebellion against the Great Old Ones. The journey along the Railway allows players to create protective sigils across the planet, ultimately aiming to banish the unfathomable abominations back to the Dark World from which they emerged.
For those eager to dive into this haunting universe, a demo is currently available, providing a taste of the thrilling adventure that awaits.
