UNRAILED 2: BACK ON TRACK PREVIEW - FRIENDSHIP-DESTROYING FUN RETURNS FOR ROUND TWO

Remember that time you thought co-op gaming with friends would be fun, and then Overcooked! made you question every life choice that led to that moment? Well, grab your therapy bills and get ready for round two, because Unrailed 2: Back on Track is coming to test your relationships all over again.

WHAT'S NEW ON THE MENU?

The sequel to the award-winning friendship destroyer is back with more tracks, more chaos, and more reasons to scream "NO, NOT THAT WAY!" at your monitor. Picture this: you and your mates, desperately trying to build a railway while a train keeps chugging along, giving zero fucks about whether you've finished laying those tracks or not. It's like playing "The Floor is Lava" except the floor really is lava, and also there's a train, and everything is on fire.

CHAOS? NAH, MORE CHAOS

What's new this time around? The devs have apparently decided that regular chaos wasn't enough, so they've added branching paths, side quests, and – because why the hell not – boss battles. Because nothing says "fun train journey" quite like facing down a massive boss while trying to lay tracks and keep your locomotive from becoming modern art.

BUILD YOUR OWN NIGHTMARE

The game's also getting a fancy new Terrain Conductor mode where you can create and share custom maps. Finally, a chance to inflict your own sadistic track designs on the community! And if creating isn't your thing, you can download other players' maps and curse their names as you try to navigate their definitely-not-sadistic creations.

CUTE BUT DEADLY

Visually, it's still rocking that adorable blocky style that makes you think "aww, how cute" right before everything goes to shit. You can play as various animals now – because apparently watching a giraffe have a meltdown over track placement is exactly what gaming needed in 2024.

ALL ABOARD THE PAIN TRAIN

Unrailed 2: Back on Track is pulling into Steam station on November 7th, bringing with it all the co-op chaos you've been missing since the first game. Just remember: if you end up losing friends over this, at least you'll have a cute animal avatar to cry with.

Get those friendships ready for testing – it's time to get back on track. (See what I did there? I'll see myself out.)
