Autumn Journey
A single-player endless mode with no objectives, designed for creative exploration and experimentation. This map is larger than the ‘Frozen Lakes’ map you’ve gotten to know so well by now.
Nature of Competition
A competitive 2-4 player versus map with specific objectives focused on managing and delivering certain commodities.
Mutual Fund
A cooperative multiplayer map that illustrates a collaborative plan to fund and develop a railroad network in a resource-rich area, addressing regulatory requirements and shared risks.
We do advise players to play the Frozen Lakes or Northern Subjugation maps first as those include vital tutorial elements explaining core mechanics.

Why an Autumn Biome in Winter?
We’ve received numerous requests for an alternative to the winter biome since our Early Access release. To accommodate this, we prioritized the Autumn Biome earlier in our roadmap.
And yes, we know it’s winter, so releasing an autumn-themed update might seem...unexpected. Think of it as a cozy warm-up to the snowier adventures ahead!
The Autumn Biome sets the stage for new main campaign chapters that will be created using this new biome.

Key Features in the Update
- Larger Sandbox Map: Autumn Journey offers more space to explore than Frozen Lakes. However, we still encourage new players to start with Frozen Lakes or Northern Subjugation, since they offer a clear introduction to the mechanics of Railroad Corporation 2
- New Versus Map Objectives: Multiplayer objectives now emphasize specific commodities, adding a fresh layer of strategic challenge.
- New Cooperative Map: Large cooperative map with a variety of challenges. Great for co-op players who already have some experience in Railroad Corporation 2.
