    Slightly less than three months to go to fulfil their promises. . .

    It's puzzling why they don't release now, at the traditional time. The three routes have been ready for some time.

    It's fake, in that it gives the impression it's available, which it certainly isn't. No availability date has been set, so we don't know for certain if it will be released and what content will be in it.

    I'll be interested to see what the moderators make of it, but they generally seem to be inactive on a Sunday.

    So who posted this "Fake News" as you call it?
    I think it would be impossible for a third party to post to the Steam New section.

    Here's the current loading screen, taken 2 minutes ago. SD you can see, it is still the Talent 2, Acela Express and Voyager, and still says ©️ 2024, nothing has changed

    It's just someone changing the background to make it look like the new version. It's really not a conspiracy.

    So why would DTG want to post fake news on their Steam page?

    trevkiwi There's a world of difference between a DTG news article suggesting at some time in the future they will release TSC 2025 and somebody taking the background artwork given and faking up in-game screens to suggest it's already been released and is playable. The screens shown above are not in DTG's news article.

    Shock horror member creates a facsimile of what TSC 2025 might look like. It must be a conspiracy or even the end of civilisation as we know it............NOT.

    That's because they were made as a proof of concept.

    Absolutely nobody is claiming to actually have TSC 2025 already.

    The link I posted is from DTG's Steam page, and nobody other than DTG can post there.

    No news on TSC 2025 just yet, but we will have news very soon.

    I see TSW5 are releasing more and more routes on the UK WCML.

    Not a bad idea for TSC future releases if no new content coming, to do say 4 TSC releases a year containing 4 or 5 previously released DLC that link up to make up a complete route UK / German / Americanr route.
