Aesir Interactive released the early access version of its open-world survival craft game EverRail on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store on July 20, 2026. The game is set on the frozen exomoon Inara, where players operate a bullet train as their mobile base, home, and life support system. The train runs on battery power that depletes when stopped, creating a constant pressure to keep moving or freeze. The early access version supports solo and online co-op play for up to four players. Players explore a procedurally generated icy world, upgrade their locomotive to reach speeds of up to 300 km/h, and expand the train to up to 1,000 cars using collected resources. Exploration includes using a glider to scout from above, collecting ISO gas, crafting equipment, and venturing into dangerous waste facilities to battle hostile robots and rescue survivors. The game is priced at 1,900 yen with a 10% launch discount running until August 4. Japanese language support is included from the start. The developer plans to evolve the game based on community feedback during early access. A demo is available on Steam, and a DLC called Bullet Train & Glider Pack is scheduled for release soon.
Aesir Interactive's EverRail launched into early access on July 20, 2026, for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The game is a survival craft adventure set on the frozen exomoon Inara, playable in first-person or third-person perspectives. The central gimmick is the bullet train, which functions as the player's home, life support system, and primary vehicle. Running the train's engine charges its battery, but stopping drains it, creating a race against freezing to death. The early access version lets players experience the core gameplay solo or in online co-op with up to four players. The procedurally generated world is described as infinitely vast, and the locomotive can be upgraded to reach 300 km/h and expanded to 1,000 cars. Exploration tools include a glider for aerial scouting and a drone for scanning surroundings. Players collect ISO gas, craft equipment, and raid waste facilities for resources and technology while fighting hostile robots. Rescued survivors become train passengers and help build a society. The game costs 1,900 yen with a 10% launch discount until August 4. Japanese language support is included from the start. A demo is available on Steam, and a DLC titled Bullet Train & Glider Pack is planned for release soon. The developer intends to evolve the game's features, systems, balance, and story based on community feedback throughout the early access period.
