Cyberpunk Life Sim 'Nivalis Nights' Gets September 30 Release Date
Publisher 505 Games and developer ION LANDS announced on June 30 that the cyberpunk life simulation game 'Nivalis Nights' will launch on PC via Steam on September 30. The game, previously titled 'Nivalis', has been renamed with this release date announcement. Set in the neon-lit, crime-ridden city of Nivalis, players start by running a small ramen shop and can expand into larger businesses such as restaurants and nightclubs. The city features a realistic weather system, a day-night cycle, and curfews enforced by the security organization CorpSec. During curfew nights, players can sabotage rival businesses but risk consequences. Players can also fish, customize homes, interact with residents to advance the story, and participate in mini-games like chess tournaments. ION LANDS is the studio behind the cyberpunk adventure game 'Cloudpunk', and Nivalis is a city that appeared in that earlier title. The game was originally announced in 2021 but faced development delays and legal issues, which the developer says have now been resolved. An Epic Games Store version is planned for a later date.
