Developer Dovetail Games continues to add new content for the latest entry in the Train Sim World series, Train Sim World 4. Just recently, players got the Edinburgh-Glasgow: Engineering Express Pack on January 23, 2024, which added in a ton of content, including new liveries, the Class 385 rail, and more. Fans are having fun with it but many have already started to wonder what Dovetail has in store for this month and beyond.
Dovetail is known for constantly developing and releasing a stupid amount of DLCs for their games. So much so that the studio’s most popular game, Train Simulator Classic, has over a whopping 700+ DLCs. Train Sim World 4 itself is nearing 100 DLCs, with the current DLC count sitting at 94. Suffice it to say, there’s still room for far more content updates. So, what does Dovetail have for Train Sim World 4 in February and the following months? Well, let’s go ahead and find out.
