Sid Meier's Railroads is now available for pre-registration on the Google Play Store, the second Firaxis Games title to be ported to Android by Feral Interactive. While we haven't had a chance to go hands-on with the game yet, seeing as it just popped up for pre-registration, we can expect the mobile port to come with some quality-of-life features optimizing the game for mobile, and clearly, the spring launch isn't far away.

Feral Interactive has redesigned the UI and controls for Sid Meier's Railroads to support touchscreen play, with clear examples of the new UI in the trailer above. Feral Interactive's track record of rebuilding similar elements for its mobile ports is excellent. For example, its port of Total War: Medieval 2 is fantastic, although the nature of the game makes it an experience best played on tablets. We can more than likely expect a similar effort from Feral Interactive with Sid Meier's Railroads, but I suspect this game will be easier to play on phones thanks to its straightforward gameplay.

For those unfamiliar with the 2006 hit, Sid Meier's Railroads is a business tycoon game. You'll busy yourself by building industries, railroads, and stations. This plays out through a single-player mode, which means the multiplayer mode found in the PC version will be absent.

Sid Meier's Railroads will launch on April 5th across iOS and Android. The only things missing from the mobile port are the map editor tool and multiplayer, but otherwise, players will receive everything included in the original PC version when the game launches on the Play Store.
