Train Sim World 2 is the next game of the Train Sim World series. It is planned to be released on 20th of August 2020.

Routes and Locomotives

The base game of Train Sim World 2 will come with 3 routes:

Sand Patch Grade - 52 mile route between Cumberland and Rockwood, featuring the CSX AC4400CW, SD40-2 and GP38-2.
Köln Schnellfahrstrecke - 70 kilometre section of high speed railway between Cologne and Aachen in Germany. Features the ICE 3M high speed EMU and the DB BR 442 EMU.
Bakerloo Line - 14 mile London Underground line featuring the 1972 Mark 2 Stock.

Editing Tools

Train Sim World 2 comes with two new editing tools; the livery designer and scenario planner. These allow users to create custom liveries for the locomotives in the game and create new scenarios for featured routes. It has also be announced, due to the community feedback and backlash the older "preserved collection" of routes are going to be given support with the new scenario planner.

New Features

Train Sim World 2 also includes new adhesion physics for more realistic gameplay, as well as improved dynamic skies to improve the visuals of the game. The game is also updated for support of 4K.

Preserved Collection

The original plan was that DLC from Train Sim World 2020 will be carried over in a limited form to Train Sim World 2. This mean't that TSW2020 routes and locos will be playable in Train Sim World 2, however they will not be compatible with any of the editing tools and it will not be possible to use preserved locomotives on Train Sim World 2 routes. This was later announced based on community feedback and backlash that this content would be usable with the scenario planner. Below is the phases that the dev team has provided with the release dates of the older content, Work In Progress (WIP).
