Core Engage developers partner with Daedalic Entertainment for their first project— the post-apocalyptic strategy title, New Cycle
Today, Core Engage, a team of innovative developers, unveiled an exquisite gameplay trailer for their highly anticipated post-apocalyptic base-builder, New Cycle. Set in a world devastated by a catastrophic solar flare, players are thrust into the role of overseers, responsible for guiding a group of survivors to transform a small fortress into a flourishing metropolis while navigating threats to their power and survival. While a demo is currently available to the public, the team is gearing up to release significant updates for the game during the Steam Next Fest demo, scheduled to launch on June 19th, 2023. The full Early Access release on Steam is planned for later this year.
New Cycle marks the debut project from Core Engage, a talented group of developers aiming to revitalize the colony survival genre through fresh narrative and gameplay elements. The game is set in a near-future post-apocalyptic scenario, where a powerful solar flare has wreaked havoc on Earth. With the collapse of the planet’s magnetic field, soaring temperatures, and the transformation of the equator into a desert, humanity finds itself on the brink of extinction. The last viable region remaining is the Northern Hemisphere, where players must establish a settlement that will serve as humanity’s last bastion and preserve nature’s delicate balance. Surviving in this hostile environment necessitates the gathering of vital resources, making difficult decisions, and managing relationships with neighboring settlements. As players progress, they uncover lost technologies and confront the numerous obstacles that arise in the wake of the apocalypse. However, regardless of the players’ designs and choices, the forces of nature continue to exert their influence. The fragile atmosphere of the New World undergoes capricious cycles and devastating events, introducing dynamic challenges that demand the utmost attention from players. To ensure the survival of their settlement, players must contend with both natural and political threats, proving their adaptability and resilience.
Accompanying the captivating new trailer, Core Engage also announced a partnership with the renowned publisher Daedalic Entertainment to bring New Cycle to global audiences. By joining forces with Daedalic Entertainment, New Cycle joins an impressive roster of indie titles released by the German publisher, including Inkulinati, Deponia, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth, The Long Journey Home, Barotrauma, and many others.
