Sparrow Night and Twin Sails Interactive have together confirmed a new release date for 1930s tycoon game, News Tower, and it’s coming soon.
The new release date is actually just a few short weeks later than initially planned (November 4th), with it now set for release on November 18th. The team says: “While the new 1.0 game content is finished, stable, and ready, the new launch date ensures News Tower gets the spotlight it deserves in a busy season for strategy and tycoon fans.
This new announcement comes with a music video as well, which the team says spotlights “the unique 1930s-inspired jazz score that gives News Tower its authentic big-band newsroom vibe.”
The team confirmed the delay is more about timing, saying that “News Tower’s 1.0 build is already complete and stable. The decision reflects Twin Sails’ player-first approach, timing Sparrow Night’s debut to ensure the game is seen and discovered by every aspiring journalist, newspaper mogul, tycoon, and strategy fan when it comes out on November 18.”
“Timing matters in both newspapers and video games,” said the Sparrow Night team. “By giving News Tower its own clear headline moment, we’re making sure our players and community can experience the excitement of building their media empire without distraction.”
