The new simulation game allows users to explore the Berlin and Hamburg subway systems from the driver’s seat or on foot.
In the upcoming simulator game SubwaySim 2, players navigate the bustling subway networks of two German cities, Berlin and Hamburg. It captures the intricacies of subway management and operation, allowing players to explore the underground systems from the driver’s seat or by strolling through the stations on foot
Subway networks and vehicles
Three subway lines are featured—two from Berlin and one from Hamburg. They cover over 40 kilometres of track, and feature 51 recreated stations.
Players operate trains such as the Berlin A3L in the A3L92 version and Hamburg’s DT5. These vehicles have been replicated to provide an authentic subway driving experience.
Career Mode
In career mode, take on the role of a real subway operator. Gameplay includes managing unpredictable weather conditions and facing random challenges. Each day on the job brings a new scenario. One will need to maintain a tight schedule to handle unexpected events.
