Train Sim World 3: The Holiday Express – Runaway Elf Add-on is out
now! Gather the family round the screen, fire up the miniature F7 and
get ready to undo the mischief caused by the naughty elf. It’s time to
save Christmas! Richie Rails to the rescue!
There’s less than two weeks to go until Christmas Day! Treat yo’elf
this festive season and enjoy a Train Sim World experience on a
completely different scale. The nostalgia-filled 1980s living room
setting sees a miniature railway threaded between furniture and a
naughty elf on the loose, leaving presents and batteries where they
shouldn’t be! The glow of the fire and the flicker of the CRT
television create an atmosphere befitting of a quiet Christmas Eve but
things must be put in order before the clock ticks down to
midnight.
Running round the track is the Richie Rails F7, fitted with
simplified controls that engineers and drivers of all ages can have
fun with. Whether you’re getting to know your surroundings by
exploring every inch of the layout, or carefully plotting a course to
switch the right stock out of the right yards, this version of the F7
is perfect for the task at hand. There’s plenty to see around the room
and for those wanting a bit more freedom of movement, a driveable jeep
can be unlocked – a first for Train Sim World!
With a selection of scenarios to play, collecting up items and
putting the elf back on that naughty step, there’s work to be done
before you can all relax for Christmas! But once all is cleared, using
Scenario Planner, the train set is yours to enjoy with any of the
trains and locomotives from Train Sim World 3 and previously-owned
Train Sim World Compatible content.
Beyond the living room, a host of festive Community activities are
taking place in-game and on social media. This year we have decided to
create something new and fun to celebrate The Holiday Express - a way
to earn in-game rewards, DLC keys and even a mystery grand prize! You
can get involved on our socials each day with daily competitions and
puzzles. There’s also some festive Mastery Challenges in-game to get
stuck into and a combined Community Challenge for everyone to
contribute towards whilst playing their favourite routes, with some
festive surprises appearing in Training Center for those who complete
them.
Some of you have already been sketching Elves and folding up paper
train models, and we're excited to see you tackle the remaining
challenges!
