G'day! Gaming Minds Studios and Kalypso Media continue expanding their building sim Railway Empire, with a big new DLC pack out now that visits the sun-scorched plains of the Australian outback.

Not only did it get a big new DLC, they also released a free update for everyone which includes bug fixes and optimizations for signal-controlled stations it also added a whole new challenge map 'Thunder Across the prairie'.

As for this big new DLC pack, it's set during the first half of the 19th Century, when the colonial territories of Australia were sparsely populated and consisted primarily of coastal cities and a few smaller farming settlements in the remote outback. It's now up to your to tame the wilds. You have plenty of suncream right? You can see the release trailer below:

Quoting: The_Aquabatif game devs continue calling the southerne hemisphere down under, then I think I'll start calling the northern hemisphere "Up There"... lol.

It's not the entire southern hemisphere, it is Australia in particular which is known as "the land down under".
