Publisher Mythwright and developer Foxy Voxel announced a full release date for Going Medieval, their city-builder and colony management sim.
The acclaimed medieval survival sandbox game is hitting full release on March 12th, and a new playable demo is available now on PC (via Steam).
Over the years the game has received 16 major content updates, lots of patches, and has been wishlisted over 1 million times. The big 1.0 release will bring a “proper endgame”, lots of improvements, new content, and “lots of achievements.”
“Going Medieval’s combination of city building, strategic combat and medieval life management has been a huge hit with players during Early Access, and we’re very excited for new and returning players to get their hands on the content we have coming up for the 1.0 launch,” said Stuart Morton, Publishing Director at Mythwright in a press release. “The support, feedback and mind-blowing player builds we’ve seen during Early Access has driven us and the incredible team at Foxy Voxel to make Going Medieva’s 1.0 launch the very best it can be. Thank you so much for joining us on this journey – we can’t wait for you to experience 1.0 on March 12th.”
Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game, plus a new trailer:
Help survivors settle and thrive in a dangerous wilderness. Build them a home using freeform construction tools, shape their lives, and defend them from bandits and beasts. Research and craft medieval tech, construct, furnish, and decorate your chambers, workshops, chapels, and libraries, and build impenetrable defenses to survive raids and create the perfect stronghold, all in a dynamic sandbox world. The Dark Age is yours to rebuild.
