- Railbound v3.50 (May 29th 2025) - Level Editor Open Beta Update - 29 May 2025
Hi, Since we announced that we're working on a level editor for Railbound, we've also been thinking about how to best handle releasing this mode. In the end we decided to release it a bit early so that you, the players, can put your hands on it earlier and help us steer this feature in the best possible direction. Introducing - the Railbound Level Editor Open Beta: This new mode is available for everyone who updates the game on Steam to version 3.50 (visible in the bottom-right corner of the main menu). You can access the level editor mode through the button on the left side of the main menu.

- Railbound Level Editor arrives later this year! - 26 March 2025
This one has been by far the most requested feature we've kept receiving ever since Railbound launched back in 2022, but we can finally tease that we've been quietly working on a level editor for the game since late last year. It was a challenge for a number of reasons - the amount of UI/UX work involved, platform-related difficulties, the distance from original release making it less likely that people will use this feature enough - but thanks to player feedback and all the positive reviews the game has gotten, we decided to give it a try. Railbound's level editor will arrive later this year, giving players tools to design their own puzzles, decorate them as they see fit, and share their creations with other people (as long as it's solvable). We're still working on the details of how everything works, so bear in mind that everything in these screenshots and videos is subject to change…

Railbound released exactly one year ago - and to celebrate we've got a big update for all of you! There are 40 new puzzles to solve across two new worlds - World 11 and World 12. We've also got a brand-new twist on the existing Railbound formula - all of the new levels feature two locomotives and separate sets of train cars which you need to connect to the right place in the right order. It was a mechanic that we conceived at an early stage, cut from the original scope of the game because of time constraints, but could now revisit in this update... and honestly, it's a lot more fun and challenging than we originally expected! We hope you have a great time playing around with these new puzzles. Railbound and all of our other games will also be discounted from September 6th (from 10AM PT) till 20th, so check them out!
