Hello, Engineers!
We’re thrilled to finally announce that VoidTrain is leaving Early Access and launching in full release this November 7!
To celebrate the occasion, the game will be available with a special launch discount of 35%.
Global release times:
9am PT
5pm CET
Let’s take a quick (and spoiler-free!) look at what’s waiting for you in Version 1.0:
The final Chapter 3 concludes the journey of the Engineer - a story that began almost by accident and now leads to long-awaited answers.
You’ll finally meet the mysterious Scientist whose notes have guided you through the Void… and face the reflection that reveals your true purpose here.
It’s the emotional finale of a story that began with curiosity and ends with meaning.
With the 1.0 update, your train enters a new age of progress - the Tesla Era.
This milestone brings a complete overhaul to how energy flows through your train, reshaping the way you power, build, and expand.
Modules of this era no longer rely solely on fuel - they draw energy from electricity, gaining powerful bonuses when connected to the grid. Older modules can also be upgraded to this new standard, keeping your setup efficient without starting from scratch.
The Thermogenerator. Core of the Power Grid
At the heart of this transformation lies the Thermogenerator - the key component that fuels your entire network.
It produces electricity for all systems on board, while its interface gives you real control over your energy balance: from tracking consumption to managing output and distribution across modules.
Electricity doesn’t just add another resource — it introduces a new layer of strategy and depth to train management.
Modules can still run independently, but connecting them to the grid unlocks valuable performance boosts and efficiency perks.
The Train Tesla Engine. Expanding the Power Frontier
The Tesla Engine now plays a major role in defining your energy capacity. Upgrading it boosts the system’s overall power potential, allowing you to sustain more modules simultaneously and manage complex setups without overloads.
You can fuel the engine in two distinct ways:
With specialized Tesla fuel cells, designed for high-efficiency energy output.
Or by linking it directly to the Thermogenerator, forming a self-sustaining electric network that keeps your entire train alive and humming.
The Tesla Era isn’t just about new mechanics - it’s a leap forward in how your train feels and functions.
From a steam-powered machine (and before that - a trolley) to a masterpiece of electricity and innovation, this is the moment where your journey truly enters the future.
Personalization reaches a new level.
A new Asian-inspired wall and decor theme brings a fresh aesthetic to your train (we’ll share more visuals soon).
And introducing a brand-new feature - Wall Painting!
With the new Paint Sprayer, engineers can recolor cabins and walls to match their own style. Paints are dropped by New Light soldiers and other loot sources, and dyes can be mixed right in the sprayer to create your own shades and patterns.
Updated sights
The current ones might look stylish, but they didn’t do much to help with actual aiming. We’ve completely reworked them, replacing the old models with new, transparent glass sights that make aiming feel much clearer.
Faster projectiles
Ever noticed how long it takes for a revolver bullet to reach that mine in the distance — or that soldier on the next outpost? Not anymore. Projectile speed has been increased across the board, making gunfights feel more dynamic and impactful.
Full weapon stats in the Armory Table
A long-awaited feature requested by our players — the Armory Table will now display all weapon stat changes before crafting. This makes assembling and customizing your weapons faster, easier, and far more transparent.
Here are just a few of them: inventory and container sorting. Simplified and more automated resource management. The ability to adjust many aspects of the game to your liking through the World Settings - including combat difficulty, item stack sizes, and more. New container tiers and upgraded container racks - and much more to discover!
If you’ve played the game before, you’ll be able to pick up your journey from the same point you previously reached.
However, if you decide to start a new playthrough, you’ll discover a fresh experience as well — over the course of Early Access, a lot has changed.
Beyond the features mentioned above, the overall game balance has been reworked, unnecessary cycles have been removed, and a huge number of quality-of-life improvements have been added.
And remember - what we’ve shared here is just a glimpse.
Version 1.0 brings many more surprises, improvements, and secrets waiting to be discovered aboard your train.
