The time has finally come. The most significant event in Rail Nation history is coming back and better than ever. We’ve got some exciting changes, new achievements and much more! So, are you ready to prove yourself? The race is on! We’ve got all the details you need, so let’s get started.
What is Rail Nation Masters?
For all you newer players to the Rail Nation universe, Rail Nation Masters is one of the biggest, most competitive events, held annually, where you’ll register to play in tournaments against players from all around the world in a battle for fame, prestige, and prizes. It’s in these events that you’ll prove your skills to their fullest and be crowned as one of the best Rail Nation players in the world! These events are called:
- Rising Stars
- Allstars
Allstars: For the 2 star+ ranked players, Rail Nation Allstars is split into qualification rounds, with a grand final qualification held in January 2022. Here, the maximum number of participants is 3500, first-come, first-serve.
Rising Stars: For the –0-1 star Rail Nation players, Rising Stars is a single game round and has a maximum number of 2500 participants, also on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Clash! Is back! Whether or not you take part in Allstars or Rising Stars, everyone can play Clash! If you’re new to it, Clash! is a mini-game that’s played in the Lobby. In Clash! you face two opponents on a triangular map. You must navigate from industry to industry, collect goods and destroy your rivals’ routes. Whoever’s the first to collect ten goods successfully will win!
Please note: You can only register for one of these events, Allstars or Rising Stars.
The better you are at Rail Nation, the higher up the ranking you’ll climb! If you’re new, though, don’t worry about not being able to enter Allstars; Rising Stars is just as competitive and a place where you’ll use every ounce of your strategic skill! Should you participate in Allstars or Rising Stars, you’ll also receive unique avatar items for free!
Gold transfer to Masters servers is not possible, however gold can be transferred away from Masters servers after the servers end. This includes transferring gold to the finals server on All Stars. For more information, please click HERE
Due to the highly competitive nature of both these events, you need to be quick to register before spaces go! Now that’s cleared up, let’s talk about what’s new in Masters 4.

What’s new in Masters 4?
This year, we’ve made some exciting changes and additions to Masters 4; these are:
More achievements! The requirement to earn achievements has also been adjusted. You can see the full changes HERE
Trainspotter avatars! The first-place winners from Allstars, Rising stars, and Clash! will be guaranteed a unique trainspotter avatar! The Rail Nation team will then pick two participants from each league at random for a total of nine new trainspotter avatars to be added to Rail Nation.
Note: The trainspotters will use their in-game username only, not their real name. Winners will be given a photo submission guideline outlining what is deemed acceptable as a trainspotter photo. The photos need to be submitted within two weeks; otherwise, we will pick a new winner.
Unique community event! You heard us! We’ve got a special community event currently planned for 20th December. Join us for Christmas Clash! Community vs the Rail Nation staff. You better bring your A-game; we won’t be holding back!
