In a new survival game on Steam, you build a train with friends and must survive on a foreign planet

In Railborn, a new survival game on Steam, you fight for survival on a hostile planet. Your best protection against the elements is a train, which you can expand alone – or with friends – from a small cart to a huge base.

What kind of game is it? Railborn is a survival game and the second title from developer Washbear Studio on Steam. The title will first launch in Early Access – the developers have not yet revealed when exactly.

You can watch a trailer for the game here:

Surviving on a deadly planet

What is the game about? In Railborn, you find yourself on an alien planet, 350 light-years away from Earth. At first glance, it may resemble Earth in terms of flora, but alien creatures inhabit it.

However, you don’t need to worry about the planet’s inhabitants. The trailer shows no battles against aliens. Instead, the greatest danger is likely to come from the planet itself:

Outside the safety of your train lies a hostile, doomed world where every step is a struggle against suffocation, starvation, and the planet itself.

Your best protection against the elements is your train. With the resources you find on the planet, you will continually expand it – car by car. You start with a simple cart, but over time, you can build multi-story behemoths.

Your objectives are:

• collect rare plants, and restore the dying biomes of the planet in your train
• discover abandoned outposts and alien monoliths to decipher the planet’s history
• transport your train with everything you’ve salvaged onto the “ultimate track” into outer space
