Creator of Civilization Marks the Return of Legendary Series

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--2K, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), and Firaxis Games, the Companys world-renowned development studio, today announced that Sid Meiers Railroads! for PC has gone to gold master and will be available at stores in North America on October 17 and in Europe on October 27.

Sid Meiers Railroads! returns in a vibrant 3D world delivering exciting multiplayer options, in-game customization tools, streamlined interface and unmatched gameplay that's easy to learn yet challenging to master. Legendary game designer Sid Meier and Firaxis Games, creators of the highest rated computer strategy game* Civilization IV, put gamers in charge of building the greatest rail empire in the nation - managing trains, cargo and the bottom line - while engaging in all-out corporate warfare against rival tycoons, slick entrepreneurs, and robber barons.

Its a dream come true to be reunited with a game I created early in my career, that has been played and enjoyed by generations of strategy, simulation, and train fans around the world, said Sid Meier, Firaxis Director of Creative Development. This re-imagining of the original will deliver exciting and challenging gameplay experiences for years to come.
