Following its last update in December, Lukasz Spierewka's lovely puzzler Railbound is receiving another batch of free content on February 3rd. The update will introduce new levels, story postcards, a region, and a gameplay mechanic.

While the December update added 11 new puzzles for players to solve, the upcoming content drop will offer a whopping 30+. That will bring Railbound's overall number of levels to over 200, providing plenty of conundrums to solve.

These additional stages will undoubtedly involve the new gameplay feature in some fashion. This new mechanic is called semaphores and will allow players to place these signals around the level to delay train cars, adding an extra layer of puzzling depth to each puzzle.

As mentioned, players will find a new ancient-themed region to explore following the update, allowing them to enjoy watching the cutesy trains puffing around different locales. Elsewhere, there are more story postcards to find alongside the usual fixes, improvements and tweaks most updates include.

If you're unfamiliar with Railbound, it is an adorable-looking puzzler from Lukasz Spierewka, the developer behind inbento and Golf Peaks. The aim of each level is to link carriages to a train before taking the passengers home. While that might sound simple, there are limited track pieces available on each stage, so players must be mindful of where they place them.
