Polish development team Play2Chill and German publisher Toplitz Productions jointly announce the release date for the survival city builder Aztecs: The Last Sun. The Early Access start of the highly anticipated survival infused strategy title has been set for August 28, 2025. Aztecs: The Last Sun will give you a memorable gameplay experience. Because when you take over the role of an Aztec leader trying to build the city state of Tenochtitlan, you will soon find out that the game transcends classic historical city builder elements.

You'll be confronted with gut-wrenching decisions that can have a critical impact on your reputation as a leader or your peoples' wellbeing in the long run. Keep that in mind, once your perception of benevolence or cruelty will be put to the test.

After just 8 months of open development in early access, Memoriapolis is officially launching its version 1.0 today. 5PM Studio revealed last week the historical city builder will span over 5 ages (rather than 3 during its early access), including the Age of Enlightenment and the very surprising Industrial Revolution. This final age also introduces the game's hidden objective: building the Ultimate Collection, crowning the player as a legendary city builder. Memoriapolis is now available on PC (Steam) at a discounted price for the next two weeks! (more information about the pricing below)

About Memoriapolis
In Memoriapolis, players guide their city through distinct historical ages, each presenting unique architectural styles, technological advancements with organic road generation and political dilemmas. The new trailer shows a city evolving through all 4 first ages, during which players will not only have to meet the challenges of each age, but also maintain their dynasty in power for the duration of the game. It also teases the last age: the Industrial Revolution. Only observant viewers will find all the clues!

Hey Module Makers, and welcome to a special edition of the Modulus Dev Log! We've got big news: the Modulus demo is officially live! If you've been waiting to dive into our factory automation sandbox, now's the perfect time to jump in, start optimizing, and let those conveyor belts roll. But today, we're not just celebrating the demo launch, we're also taking a look back at how Modulus has evolved throughout development. From early prototypes to the design choices that shaped the demo, we're pulling back the curtain on what it takes to bring a game like this to life. As well as introducing you to some of the team.

Award-winning developer Happy Volcano (You Suck at Parking, The Almost Gone) and publisher Astra Logical are proud to announce the first-ever demo for Modulus, a factory automation game where players build every piece from the ground up with building-block modules. Cut, color, stamp, and assemble these modules to design an impressive factory with your own creative twist. There are no fixed recipes in Modulus. Players produce each construct from the very modules they manufacture, resulting in a highly personalized approach to factory-building. Witness these structures rise and construct in real time, with each block becoming a visible part of the design. The more complex the buildings, the more advanced the modules must become.

Defend Your Empire! And help us shape what comes next! It's finally happening: Roman Triumph is out in Early Access! Five years of solo dev, a mountain of coffee, endless playtests, and a ridiculous number of spreadsheets… and now we're here. Huge thanks to everyone who played the demo, sent feedback, or just cheered us on—you helped shape this game more than you know! To celebrate its launch, the game is available for $24.99 with a 25% discount. That discount won't last forever, and the price will go up once we reach 1.0, so if you've been thinking about it, now's a great time to dive in.

Roman Triumph is a survival city-builder / colony-sim set in Roman times where you must lead your people, build a city from the ground up and fortify it with walls, ballistae, archer towers and other Roman defenses to survive against the hordes of Barbarians, ferocious Hydra, Minotaur, Cerberus, and other mythological beasts. In order for your city to thrive, you must keep your citizens fed, safe, healthy, and happy. Strategically designing your city in this randomly generated world will improve your empire's chances of attracting new citizens, increase your resource and food production efficiency, please your gods, and maximize safety during attacks.

Hi everyone, as you all hopefully know, we released Kaiserpunk on Friday! While we're proud of the work we've done, we're not satisfied. The release clearly shows there's a lot of interest in Kaiserpunk and its promise, but it also shows that we didn't fully achieve what we are aiming for. That means that the work continues—on delivering the game that Kaiserpunk deserves to be, and the game you deserve to play. We're incredibly grateful for all the feedback you've shared—both those of you telling us how much and why you like the game, and from those of you who let us know what's keeping you from enjoying the game. All your feedback helps us understand how to move forward, and every player is equally deserving of our gratitude.

For now, however, our focus will be on the latter group—seeing what we can do in the short and medium term to ensure that even more of you enjoy our game. The feedback we're receiving seems to come in three primary categories; performance, UI/UX and game balance. We'll be focusing on all three in the coming days and weeks. Regarding performance, some of you have experienced issues you shouldn't have—that's not ok—end of story. We're working as fast as we can to improve performance for all players. However, it will likely take about a week or so for us to make a meaningful impact. Second is UI/UX. UI/UX for complex games is always challenging, but that doesn't mean we won't work on improving it. We'll work hard with this starting with the first patch, but we'll need ongoing help and feedback from you. Please share any additional feedback you may have—you can find the best ways to reach us at the end of this message.

Time flies and as we enter the latter half of March, we have a AAA release from a popular franchise that involves murder by another name. This is followed by a rather weird party game, a 33 player co-op game (good luck finding enough friends), some casual ski resort fun, an anime based game that appears to be related to chemicals and finally some alternative 20th century strategy gaming.

Assassin's Creed Shadows / This week's AAA release / Thursday 20 March

Overseer Games, an independent developer, announced a partnership with Elda Entertainment—a new publisher with a vision to deliver the world's best management games—to bring Kaiserpunk, a grand city builder, to players on March 21. Blending production-focused city building with the world conquest of strategy games, Kaiserpunk will be available on Steam for $29.99. Elda Entertainment is co-publishing the game alongside Overseer Games.

Set in an alternate Interbellum Era (1918-1945), Kaiserpunk challenges players to build their own city-state, fuel industrial expansion, and wage strategic warfare across land, sea, and air to forge an empire. With deep production chains, grand-scale city building, and global conquest at its core, Kaiserpunk blurs the lines between city management and global warfare.

Today Airborne Empire finally takes flight and is live on Steam! We—at the Wandering Band—are super excited for players to get their hands on the game, to celebrate there will be a 10% discount on the game for a limited time.

We plan on working on the game for at least a year (most likely a little longer) and we've posted a very early + rough roadmap below.

Right now it's just a list of things we plan on doing. The idea is to expand on this roadmap with your input. We have a big game with a lot of cool features, we're happy with what we have, but our goal is to make something great.

If you find a bug while playing the game please report it with the in-game bug reporting tool (in the pause screen).

We will be taking your opinion into consideration when we continue to work on the editor and are looking forward to seeing the feedback that you might have.

New Cycle is a dieselpunk-inspired city-builder with an emphasis on survival. It will launch into Early Access on Steam on January 18th, 2024! You are the leader of a small group of settlers seeking refuge after a catastrophic solar flare desolated the Earth. You start with only a basic settlement, a few hungry workers, and many unfulfilled needs. Over time, as your population grows, new challenges for your colony will emerge—fluctuations in morale, disease outbreaks, power losses, and resource demands will all test your capabilities as a leader. Nothing is ever certain, but each new day is another opportunity to rebuild what was lost and return humanity's dominion over the earth.

Looking into the bright dawn of Early Access in January, Turkish developers Core Engage and Daedalic Entertainment are excited to inject fresh energy into the survival city-building genre by elevating tried and true hallmarks both narratively and mechanically. With the unique crisis component around the sun and climate changes reminiscent of today's ecological concerns, New Cycle honors the existing elements while entertaining innovation in light of the new world and circumstances. Early Access will feature two different gameplay modes (campaign and sandbox), three different biomes, 54 buildings, 47 producible resources, three classes of society, eight different stages of development, and an inventory of 3D assets divided into three main eras and art style approaches.

Dear Citizens, see the screenshots below and have a first look at the city in Frostpunk 2! It is the sequel to the highly acclaimed, BAFTA-nominated society survival game. The age of steam has passed and now, oil leads the way as humanity's newest salvation. However, with new threats on the horizon, the future of the city looks even grimmer than before.

Hey everyone! We're back with another installment of our development diary series. In this one, we will go over a feature that will help you capture the most memorable moments from your city! The Cinematic and Free Camera modes are completely different from what you are familiar with in Cities: Skylines. The difference between them is truly day and night. In Cities: Skylines II, both modes can be accessed by clicking the Photo Mode button located in the bottom-right corner of the main UI.

From here, you can dive into the world of photo- and cinematography and capture your city in all of its glory, chaos, or spaghetti road madness with your friends or other players alike! The power of these tools is really conveyed by the fact the in-game trailer was filmed using the built-in Cinematic Camera feature, and today's diary is here to help you navigate the options so you too can capture amazing footage of your city!
