Railway Empire: Nintendo Switch Edition delayed again, now releasing in June

Railway Empire: Nintendo Switch Edition was first expected on Switch on February 14. After it was delayed shortly before release, it was moved to March 27. Kalypso Media ended up pushing the game back yet again after that.
