Jan 26, 2024 3:10 PM

Arthur 'Mr. Podunkian' Lee, a former developer of Stardew Valley, is set to release a new life simulation game titled Sunkissed City in Q4 of this year. Sunkissed City invites players to Apollo City, a coastal metropolis bustling with unique vibes and eccentric characters. The game tasks players with spreading environmentally friendly initiatives for the mega-corporation Pico, amidst escalating problems like aggressive animals and mysterious monsters emerging from the sewers. Players can customize their character with new clothing and redesign their living space, with both online and local co-op features for shared exploration. Though initially launching on Steam, plans for console releases are in place. Excitement is building for this new venture from a beloved game developer.

What type of game is Sunkissed City and when can we expect its release?

Sunkissed City is a life simulator game scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 2023, originally launching on Steam with eventual plans for console availability.

Background information: Sunkissed City is developed by Arthur Lee, who previously worked on the indie sensation Stardew Valley — a game that reinvigorated the farming sim genre and gained massive popularity for its charming pixel art design, deep gameplay mechanics, and the ability to live a quaint rural life. Stardew Valley was originally released in 2016 to critical acclaim and has since cultivated a dedicated fan base, inspiring a new generation of life simulation games, among which Sunkissed City appears to be a promising new entry.
