Fellow national transportation leaders,
The v0.2 Open Beta — our biggest update since launch — opens for everyone this Friday, August 21 at 17:00 UTC:
- 🇺🇸 Los Angeles — Fri 10:00
- 🇺🇸 New York — Fri 13:00
- 🇬🇧 London — Fri 18:00
- 🇩🇪 Berlin / Paris — Fri 19:00
- 🇨🇳 Beijing — Sat 01:00

What's in it: a deeply improved national simulation — transparent demand, modes that compete on real travel time and smarter multimodal routing, circular rail lines — plus history snapshots, map export, enhanced localization in 11 languages, and an experimental city map. Full patch notes arrive with the beta on Friday.
Before Friday: your saves will carry over — but please back up your nations first, using the in-game save export.
See you Friday.
