Mad Merchant

The release date for Mad Merchant is July 20, 2026, launching for PC. This strategy title tasks you with managing a modular train through a dystopian wasteland, balancing the risks of high-speed shortcuts against the resource costs of safer, longer rail routes.

Success depends on real-time wagon maintenance and a hybrid combat system where you can let automated turrets handle rogue drones or seize manual control to aim the cannons yourself. The loop focuses heavily on the economy of safe havens, where haggling for mechanical parts determines if your engine survives the next cross-border push. It is a focused management challenge where a single system failure can derail the entire run.

Fans of logistics-heavy survival and vehicular combat should wishlist this for its July launch.
