Constructing History: Three Monumental Scenarios
Industrial Wonders is built around three comprehensive scenarios, each focusing on a monumental engineering feat. Your railway company will be at the centre of these transformative projects, tasked with building the complex supply chains necessary to make them a reality.
- Industrial Miracle (Ruhr Valley, 1869) – Journey to Germany’s industrial powerhouse, weaving a vast, interconnected web of railroads between coal mines and steelworks to fuel an unprecedented wave of productivity.
- La Dame de Fer (Île-de-France, 1880) – Paris is preparing for the 1889 World’s Fair, and your task is to establish the efficient rail connections needed to deliver the immense quantities of materials required to construct its crowning achievement: the legendary Eiffel Tower.
- Concrete Giant (Lower Colorado Basin, 1910) – Travel to the United States to take part in one of the most daring construction projects of the 20th century. Utilise daring new techniques to supply the colossal concrete feat that is the Hoover Dam as it rises from the canyons.
All Aboard for More
Railway Empire 2 has continued to expand since it first invited entrepreneurs to climb aboard back in 2023. This latest expansion adds more of the historical flavour and deep strategic gameplay that fans of the series appreciate, challenging them with some of the most ambitious projects of the age.
From the coal-dusted valleys of Germany to the Parisian skyline and the vast American desert, Industrial Wonders challenges you to be more than a railway magnate – it asks you to be a titan of industry. The age of steam and steel is calling; it’s time to answer.
You’ll find the new Industrial Wonders DLC on the usual stores. The Xbox Store is our favourite, but you do you. Just ensure you have the base game.
DLC Description
Plunge into the pounding heart of the Industrial Revolution in Railway Empire 2 – Industrial Wonders. Spearheaded by the steam locomotive, this era unleashed a wave of productivity and innovation, enabling complex supply chains and monumental construction projects that had previously been unimaginable. In Germany, the Ruhr Valley emerged as the powerhouse of industrialisation, where coal mines, steelworks, and railroads formed a vast, interconnected web of progress. Meanwhile, France prepared to crown the 1889 World’s Fair with the Eiffel Tower – a striking symbol of modern engineering. And in 1931, the United States began work on the Hoover Dam, a colossal concrete feat built with daring new techniques.
