It looks like
Railroad Tycoon will be facing some competition in the future, as Sid
Meier and 2K Games are entering the fray with their own railroad games,
imaginatively titled "Sid Meier's Railroads!"
"In
addition to winning countless awards, the Railroad Tycoon franchise
pioneered the simulation and strategy genres by introducing limitless
gameplay," said Christoph Hartmann, Managing Director of 2K Games.
"Building on the franchise, Sid Meier's Railroads! will deliver a
simulation experience that caters to both strategy gamers and locomotive
fans alike."
"We're
thrilled to have the opportunity to bring this game back home,"
said Sid Meier, Director of Creative Development for Firaxis Games.
"Railroads is near and dear to our hearts and we're looking forward
to delivering the endlessly fun gameplay experience fans of our games
have come to expect."
