City Tales - Medieval Era To Launch in Early Access On May 22
Indie studio Irregular Shapes and publisher Firesquid have today announced at the Future Games Show Live that City Tales - Medieval Era is set to launch in Early Access on May 22 via Steam. The creative and relaxing kingdom simulator is gearing up for launch after a successful Steam Next Fest where nearly 20,000 players had the chance to play the demo and enjoy the title for the first time.
The demo is available again to celebrate the City Builder & Colony Sim Fest. City-builder and cozy game fans are eager to check out this early version of City Tales - Medieval Era. This demo is a still-in-development sneak peek of the upcoming Early Access version that will include many more content and performance.
City Tales - Medieval Era will offer an Early Access launch full of content with an intricate economy with over 50 different types of resources and over 60 types of buildings. With its custom 3D procedural engine, which generates each building individually, the player is immersed in a city where each building and each plot is truly unique.
This game lets players step into the role of a medieval lord, directing the shape and growth of their kingdom. Players can try the innovative urban planning tool to draw districts, craft over 60 buildings, and experience the game's companion system. Builders will grow their settlements from small hamlets to sprawling medieval cities, evolving their creations and eventually building monuments that will truly represent their city
City Tales - Medieval Era emphasizes the narrative with a cast of companions. These characters work with the player to build the city and whose storyline and growth they get to decide. Player's decisions shape how each story unfolds, adding a new layer of replayability and immersion to the city-builder genre.
Irregular Shapes plans to expand City Tales - Medieval Era with new content regularly during the Early Access, including more buildings, resources, and a deeper companion system with more narrative elements, maps, and quality-of-life updates. Players who decide to support the Early Access now can also use the Photo Mode to capture their creations and share them with the community on Steam and social media.
City Tales - Medieval Era is set to release in Early Access on PC via Steam on May 22, 2025. Players can wishlist the game now on Steam.
