Dovetail Games has announced that the first major route add-on for Train Sim World 3 (@trainsimworld) is on its way and will see players run trains through familiar landmarks in and around Britain's West Midlands.Birmingham Cross City is coming to Train Sim World 3 on November 15th!
Train Sim World 3: Birmingham Cross-City add-on introduces the Class 323 to its expansive locomotive roster and has a busy timetable of passenger services to operate along the 37-mile route. Along the way lie landmarks familiar to locals and visitors to Britain’s second city such as the Cadbury Factory at Bournville, Birmingham New Street Station and the parallel running of the railway alongside the Worcester and Birmingham Canal. The city itself, once home to the Peaky Blinders and featuring more miles of canal than Venice, comes off the back of its recent hosting of the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
As well as being released as Train Sim World 3’s first route add-on, Birmingham Cross-City will also be available as part of a UK Birmingham Starter Pack, which includes the Training Center and can be purchased as a standalone release, without requiring the base game.
As with Train Sim World 3’s core routes, all the latest weather and lighting features bring the suburban areas to life, including the brand-new dynamic weather system, beautiful volumetric skies and the new lighting system. Training Center, which was also new to Train Sim World 3, will form a key part of teaching players about their new Class 323 electric multiple unit (EMU) and how to operate it correctly. The unit, a stalwart of the West Midlands since the mid-1990s, comes liveried in West Midlands Railway colours and emits its distinctive traction motor sounds.
Players that purchased Train Sim World 3’s recent Loco Add-on Bundle or the RHTT ‘Railhead Treatment Train’ will also be able to operate this train along the Cross-City route.
Train Sim World 3: Birmingham Cross-City add-on will bring new challenges beyond its dense timetabling and frequent station stopping, such as taking on the Lickey Incline - a famed section of track known for its complex working back in the steam days and which still tests the skills of today’s freight drivers in the real world. The result is a route with a unique style of gameplay, different to the pace of Train Sim World 3’s core routes in Kent, California and mid-Germany.
And more is yet to come, with a new German route and US locomotive confirmed to be in the works in the latest roadmap along with another UK route in development through third party Rivet Games.
The Train Sim World 3: Birmingham Cross-City add-on will be available for pre-order from November 8 on Steam and then released for Windows PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles on November 15, 2022. The add-on, which requires prior purchase of Train Sim World 3, will be available for purchase digitally on Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, and Microsoft Store for £29.99/€35.99/$39.99.
Train Sim World 3: UK Birmingham Starter Pack which includes Training Center and the Birmingham Cross-City add-on, will be available as a standalone release for £29.99/€35.99*/$39.99.
Train Sim World 3 is available on Steam and the Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store, and PlayStation Store with a Deluxe Edition available for £49.99/€59.99/$59.99, Standard Edition available for £39.99/€44.99/$49.99 and regional ‘Starter Packs’ each available for £29.99/€35.99/$39.99.
Nordic Game (@NordicGame) has revealed the first speakers in the conference line-up for their upcoming show, NG23 Spring on 23-26 May, online and on-stage at Slagthuset in Malmö, Sweden.
This May’s program offers high-quality conversations, presentations, panels and workshops, addressing some of the most current, important and relevant topics within our industry. More than 130 industry profiles will be in place and ready to share their insights – here are three profiles from the first roster of NG23 Spring speakers:
From left to right: Bergur Finnbogason, Clara Sia, Tomas Sala
Bergur Finnbogason, CCP (Iceland)
The creative director of EVE Online will be on-stage in the theatre at Slagthuset with a talk about the 20-year history of the
world’s most legendary sci-fi sandbox MMO, EVE Online. Entitled “The Unexpected Turns That Led to a Titan: EVE Online”, this is not-to-be-missed if you’re interested in the proud history of the Nordic games industry, and the fantastic journey of an Icelandic game studio giant which has had a significant impact on the global industry.
Clara Sia, Devolver (USA)
Clara manages influencer strategy and relations to help elevate the reach of Devolver’s published games before a global audience through a holistic approach. She is also involved with reviewing game pitches and does independent consultations for developers. At NG23 Spring, Clara will meet with a yet-to-be-announced Nordic lead for a conversation about how to optimize your work with influencers. Stay tuned for details about Clara’s conversation partner very soon!
Tomas Sala (Netherlands)
Tomas is the creator of BAFTA-nominated The Falconeer, and he’s very passionate about games as art. At NG23 Spring, he will be talking about AI and art, in the intriguingly dubbed session “Breaking the prison, how art will save you! (from your AI overlords and yourself)”. This will be “a journey into artistic evolution and signature. Taking note of the power of creative meanderings and unconstrained exploration, as well as rigid creative limitations to be both free and productive. And hopefully a stump for how our signatures as artists are the untapped resources we need in an industry hellbent on disregarding them.”
In addition to this, several other speakers has been revealed, including Mariina Hallikainen (Colossal Order), Carolina Mastretta (Original Fire Games), Hugo Obi (Maliyo Games), Shannon and Jared Gerritzen (Illfonic), AI specialists Christoffer Holmgård (Modl.ai) and Fredrik Präntare (Pugstorm), as well as Nordic Game legend/mascot/genius
Ste Curran.
These are just some of the speakers and talks waiting for you at NG23 Spring. The speaker roster will continue to grow in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for more!
