Today, Railway Empire has set course for Nintendo Switch, arriving on the console in both digital and physical formats. The game was originally developed by Gaming Minds Studios, and has been re-engineered for Switch by Independent Arts Software.

The new release includes the main game (with all added content and improvements since its initial launch), alongside the Mexico DLC, Crossing the Andes DLC, and The Great Lakes DLC. You'll be able to get your hands on more - such as the Germany DLC, France DLC, and Great Britain & Ireland DLC - as separate purchases from the Switch eShop at a later date.
