Nivalis Nights Passes 1 Million Steam Wishlists Ahead of September 30 Release
505 Games and developer ION LANDS announced on September 18 that the Steam wishlist count for Nivalis Nights has passed 1 million. The cyberpunk life simulation is set for release on Steam on Wednesday, September 30, 2026 Japan time. Players start with a small eatery such as a ramen shop and work toward owning a popular restaurant or a high-end nightclub in the neon-lit city of Nivalis, where gangs, CorpSec crackdowns, and a mysterious serial murder case shape daily life. ION LANDS creative director Marko Dieckmann said he never imagined reaching 1 million wishlist additions, noting the wishlist count for the studio's earlier release Cloudpunk was about 130,000 at launch and felt like a major achievement at the time. In it, every action connects to the player's influence; the game also includes fishing by boat, chess tournaments against NPCs, home customization, and curfew-night sabotage of rivals.
