It was just under a year ago that Monster Train 2 rolled onto PC and console, and that means that it’s time for a major content update to the excellent deckbuilder sequel!
The update in question is due to land on PC and consoles very soon indeed, with Shiny Shoe and Big Fan confirming that Destiny of the Railforged is hitting nearly all platforms at the same time – Switch owners are going to have to wait a little while longer, though.
The new DLC isn’t far off either, with the release date confirmed as February 2. Here in the UK, it’s going to cost £8.99.
What’s in the DLC?
There’s actually quite a lot to tell you about, so get comfortable.
The new game mode is called Soul Savior, and in it you must attempt to “wrest powerful Souls from the clutches of the unstoppable Lifemother and her twisted children.”
The new mode lets you battle bosses in whatever order you see fit. Defeating them will give you curses, but you can also get extra rewards, equip the souls of fallen bosses to your cards, and there’s a new approach to metaprogression to go with it.
To deal with this new mode, you’ve got access to two new clans, one paid for and part of the expansion, and another that’s free for everyone who owns the base game!
The first is the Railforged Clan, and they lend their name to the DLC itself. These engineers made the train and tracks on which the game takes place. There are also two new characters (Herzal and Heph) to master.
The final addition is the Wurmkin Clan, which returns from the first game with a refined skillset and some new tricks. Now, check out the new trailer, which dropped alongside all this info!
