Publisher Daedalic Entertainment has revealed the Early Access release date for developer Core Engage’s debut title New Cycle. Now scheduled to release on January 18, 2024, New Cycle tasks players with building a new bastion for humanity on a post-apocalyptic Earth ravaged by solar flares.
An old new world
Players take on the role of leading a small group of settlers seeking refuge after a catastrophic solar fla𝄹re decimated Earth. In the dieselpunk-inspired city-builder, players will start with a small basic settlement of a few hungry workers with many needs as they build up their outpost. Morale, disease outbreaks, power losses, and resource demands are the primary⛎ challenges players will have to navigate to keep their settlement going.
The Early Access version of New Cycle that 🦹launches in January will fea𓆏ture a campaign and and sandbox gameplay mode, three different biomes, 54 buildings, 47 producible resources, three classes of society and eight different stages of development.
New Cycle reminds me a lot of Frostpunk with perhaps a bit of Anno 1800 mixed in which I’m all for. In the trailer it looks like the city was built around a train network which hopefully adds some interesting logistical challenges as well.
New Cycle launc⛎hes into Early Access on Steam on January 18, 2024.
