Titling Point and HarperCollins Productions are carrying its legacy forward with the launch of The Oregon Trail: Boom Town.

The Oregon Trail: Boom Town takes place in the wild frontier town of Independence: Missouri, bringing all the classic gameplay that fans have come to love, but with a twist. Players must transform is a small region into a prosperous boom town by growing plants, crafting buildings, and harvesting resources.

It’s not going to be an easy journey. The west is an unforgiving region with lots of peril on the way. Players must fight their way through it all as they build their dream town full of shops, saloons, railway stations, and museums. Things don’t have to be done alone, either. Boom Town allows for collaborative gameplay through special challenges and weekly and seasonal events.
