Settle into the demo now during Steam Next Fest and enjoy an early warm welcome with a brand-new gameplay video
Monday, 13th June 2022 – Team17 and solo developer Ernestas Norvaišas have today announced that Sweet Transit, the cosy, train-led city builder in development by the ex-Factorio 3D artist and developer, will launch into Steam Early Access on 28th July, with a brand-new demo available now during Steam Next Fest.
Home to a world where the railway is king and trains are the sole means of transportation and expansion, Sweet Transit sees players use these mighty iron horses to build new settlements, create intricate production lines, and grow humble villages into thriving metropolises while moving through distinct eras such as the introduction of steam power and the invention of the combustion engine.
Locomotive legends who can’t wait until early access launch can also enjoy a brand-new gameplay video introducing the game’s core mechanics of city building, logistics and production.
