According to the Steam listing, Gameloft's The Oregon Trailis a successor to the original game and promises "a modern twist on the trials and tribulations of the road to Oregon." The game will feature 15 playable journeys and seven quests inspired by historical events, and "immerse players in exhilarating journeys ranging from the historically accurate to the totally extreme," according to the publisher.

The aim of the game is the same as always: get your party safely across the American frontier to Oregon before winter. Every choice you make counts toward the outcome: you'll need to build your party with different skill levels, personalities, and from different classes, then monitor the health, morale, stamina, and hygiene of your party, and manage your wagon's inventory and prevent breakdowns, and take care of your oxen. Plus, you'll meet people and study animals along the trail.

The hunting and rafting elements will return as well as all the classic hazards — broken limbs, river fording, transporting gunpowder through the desert, blizzards, snakebites, starvation, exhaustion, and yes, dysentery — and there'll be a new fishing minigame with over 80 species.
