    Even though the idea of TSW5 sounds absurd, it’s still going to make money, no matter how many people complain. People are still going to buy it, through DTGs ways

    Although sadly this is also not really the truth, as not a single route done with the TSW Editor has been released as of yet. Hell, you cannot even really "cook" and distribute the stuff you create..

    I'm already convinced that yes, tsw5 will come, it's no longer a matter of "if" but "when"
    and honestly I have no more objections to this as long as the items from the 0-3 months section of the roadmap come to tsw4 so that I can continue on tsw4 to analyze tsw5 and see if it's worth the upgrade

    I don't think it's actually Epic to blame here, I feel it's DTG and their tight reveal to release schedules are what allows places like Epic to get the jump on them in the first place. I can't say for sure, but I would speculate this is probably one of the big reasons beyond marketing and hype that Microsoft and other companies reveal their upcoming games further in advance. It makes sure that they can get other third parties (even normal games still have to worry about companies like Amazon & Walmart mind you) on board and keep them informed without someone saying or doing something that leaks it out in advanced. Especially important for simulators like MSFS where so many beyond Microsoft make products for it, no chance you're gonna keep a lid on a dozen companies without someone eventually saying or doing something they shouldn't.

    Feels silly that i have to say this but the Roblox game they're making is going to be published on Roblox.

    Anyone who doesn't care about ancient American diesels, brittish commuters, a massive wear on the SSD when downloading the DLCs (again) and broken mods. But hey, at least it will fix the old content, while introducing new ones, love paying for bug fixes. I'd rather buy the standalone "new" core-game for 10 bucks, and that's more than what it's worth.

    Well that's not happening but TSW4 should at the very least get bugfixes. Here I am on TSW3 and the "newer" Br425 is for an example unusable. Not to mention the direct brake bugs on the N-wagen and E10 I think it was..

    I hope it's the Hudson Line for New York's Metro North Railroad. It could be called, Metro North commuter, and also feature a revamped Harlem Line merge in as well, so it can follow the A-B, B-C, A-C service pattern, just like on the recent LIRR commuter route

    There's close to zero information about this Steam package that was created beginning of May (approx. around the same date the back-then soon-to-become TSW 4 first appeared on Steam's database), but it contains references to a lot of TSW 4 DLCs, if not all of TSW 4 DLCs.

    My TSW3 version on the PS5 I can’t do any run on BML without the train derailing either at the start or after a few minutes.

    It could be also a seasonpack like Rushhour.... Ive know clue why everybody talks direct over a whole new TSW series. There is no evidence that will near to confirmation about that

    There were documents showing Focus expects DTG to release every year a new edition. We can do this every year claiming nothing is confirmed until it's confirmed but every year it starts like this. Let's just skip the denial this year and head immediately into route speculation. That's the most fun part ;)

    Hope is the tycoon version, at this point i really doubt for TSW5, there are lots of content planned for TSW4 (Tadami line or San Bernardino line) so TSW5 is likely to be release in 2026

    Read as speculation: Tadami line and San Bernardino line is planned for TSW5

    Too late, it started when Gershwin was uploaded. No holding it back any longer. Silly season has started. :cool:

    If it turns out it is tsw 5 then i hope they do not try advertise new suspension physics coz that was supposed to be tsw 4 feature that we still don't have implemented. And I don't see the need for tsw5 unless it's a unreal engine upgrade which does not seem likley .

    Hahaha... I remember when Blackpool was supposed to be a TSW3 DLC and then they shoved a paywall in the way... so no, unreleased DLCs definitely don't mean anything when they want more MONEY

    DTG is actively branching out into other areas, so I'm not betting on it being TSW5, and definitely not counting it as a confirmation. But since the cat is out of the bag, this might be addressed in the next roadmap video.

    DLC for Roblox being developed by a completely seperate third party. Ones who specialise in Roblox DLC apparently.

    I wouldnt have a problem with a new tsw even after every 6 months, but DTGs way to break a Hell Lot of older content is a noGo.

    Tsw4 was a big step with free roam. But how is tsw5 to impress with? Suspension physics announced already?

    Not sure how they want to even justify a new iteration.

    I really looked up whether George Gershwin (Porgy & Bess) was the 5th child of a large immigrant family, or something to that code name.

    He wasn't.

    Changing my medication now.

    Finally a person with some common sense.
    It seems to be PC players that complain the most at a new TSW entry. Maybe because they lose all their precious mods with the previous game.
    It’s not difficult to uninstall an old version and install the new version of the game lol

    Animated butterflies in the fields. And smell simulation for Diesel, Steam and Electric trains (stench for one handled E/DMUs). This time for sure.

    Yes not so far, to specify i mean it shouldn't turn into one of these kinds of a strange suggestion thread where people just guess what routes it's going to include, based on feelings and absolutely no evidence. Like what happens with every other thread of this nature.

    Such little faith. I think we can be fairly confident most of the promised features of TSW5 will be released in 2025 as part of TSW6!

    If it is TSW5 then I won't be rushing to buy it, rather wait a few months for it to come in a humble bundle on big sale. I'm getting fed up with financing DTG every flipping year. I've weaned myself off TSW and am enjoying Total War games and Age of wonders 4 too. There is life after trains, also increasing my hours on TSC. I wonder what amazing new feature they will be bringing to try and sell the same game yet again - guard duties maybe lol.

    Same here. Despite enjoying the TSG 218, haven't been back on TSW in three days now since buying Berlin Ringbahn and a couple of other German routes for TSC in the Steam sale. I will be thinking long and hard before jumping on the paywall bandwagon if it is TSW5. And yes, I know I said that last year and folded but it would have to come with some massive QOL updates and superlative routes to tempt me this time around. We can almost be certain the American route will be San B. which is too similar to last years AVL to really appeal.

    Well, all in all, googling Gershwin and tram gives you more results than Gershwin and train, for some reason. But well, that might mean nothing. I highly doubt that gershwin would be something, that will clogg up my hard disk space, all in all. Maybe next year, I'm more willing to buy 'Bernstein', then.

    You, yeah. But not the majority of people. As said time and time again, vintage routes take so much more effort (=costs), but less people buy it than a modern route. It's sad because I love vintage stuff, but the facts are the facts and I understand why as a business they try to maximize their profits. I'd decide the same way if I were in charge, honestly speaking.

    Maybe DTGs takes a new path with expert line dlcs. Actually this would be welcome in the detail level of TSGs 101.

    So San Bernardino will be the US route for TSW5

    What do we think the UK and DE routes will be?

    UK or Germany is replaced by the Japan Tadami Line if TSW5 come out
