Artdink published A-Train 3D back in 2014 in Japan. Last year, Natsume localized the game for North America and Europe. Now Artink is developing a new version.

A-Train 3D Neo (or perhaps we should call it A-Train 3D: City Simulator Neo) is coming to Japan on December 1. Other than the regular package at 4,860 yen, there will be also a “Beginner’s Pack” that comes with an official guidebook priced at 5,378 yen.

A-Train 3D Neo improves upon features from the vanilla version. Additionally, the eight extra scenarios that were offered as paid DLC will be included here. Compatibility with data from the vanilla version is planned as well.
