Greetings, fellow Nysians! We’re excited to announce the Early Access release date for Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown! Get ready to jump into the world of Nysamor on November 6th, 2 PM PST / 3 PM MST / November 7th, 9 AM AEDT. https://youtu.be/K54N59aZZjU First off, a huge thank you to our incredible Thrive community! From the early days of the announcement to the closed betas and Next Fest Demo, it’s been amazing sharing this journey with you. Your feedback and bug reports have helped the Zugalu team build something truly special. Our goal has always been to create a survival city builder that's fun to play with friends, and we’re pumped to have multiplayer co-op and PvP modes to Early Access—alongside all three narrative acts. It won’t be long before you jump back into Nysamor and start your reign as Ruler. Here’s what you can expect in Early Access:

• Collect and harvest resources, and build your legacy through smart planning, advancement, and a detailed tech tree.

• Place city structures, set up road networks, build defences, and assemble a powerful military to exert your will.

• Shape your kingdom's reputation through narrative-driven events across three distinct acts. Your decisions can permanently impact your people, settlement, and the world around you.

• Choose between ruling with Benevolence or Tyranny. A Benevolent ruler shows compassion, while a Tyrannical one takes pleasure in exploitation and torture. Each path comes with its own advantages and challenges, so be mindful of the legacy you want to leave behind.

• Adventure solo in a single-player experience, or play with up to four players in Co-Op or PvP multiplayer.

• Siege castles, plunder trade routes, or confront fantastical Waelgrim creatures in RTS combat—either alongside or against other players.

It’s been quite the journey so far, but it doesn’t end on November 6th! We can’t wait to keep the conversation going on our Discord [https://discord.com/invite/thrivehltc]. Jump in, share your thoughts, and let’s continue shaping Thrive together. Also, don’t forget to check out our Thrive YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/@ThriveHLTC] at launch for developer live streams and walkthrough videos to help you get the hang of things. With less than two weeks to go, what will your choices say about your reign? ————— [i]Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown[/i] is available to Wishlist on [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1245250/Thrive_Heavy_Lies_The_Crown/]Steam[/url] now!
