Canadian studio Zugalu Entertainment has announced that it is going to launch its upcoming medieval survival city builder game, Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown, on PC next year. The date has not been set but we do know that the game will launch sometime in March 2023.
In the game, you play as the leader of a growing new settlement, where you will establish and oversee its growth into a mighty kingdom while making critical choices that influence the type of leader you will develop into.
Check out the game’s trailer below:
As you build your city, volition will be a valuable tool in your inventory. Shape the land and fortify it as you like. Burdened by the weight of your decisions, a seemingly trivial choice can shape your legacy and determine if you’re a soulless tyrant or a fair and just monarch.
Talking about the game and its release, Branden Sloane, Co-Founder and CEO of Zugalu Entertainment had this to say,
We’re excited to bring a 1-4 player multi-city building game to life. Rarely in this genre do you get to build your kingdom alongside your friends and have the choice to play cooperative or competitive. Playable solo or with up to 3 friends, you set up trade routes and compete with your friends to build the most successful kingdom – if your “friends” are more successful than you, then attacking them is always an option. We named the game Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown as whether you choose to play as a kind or cruel ruler, all your choices matter. The multiple daily decisions you make will directly affect the society you create, where supply chain needs and alliance or military options all matter. Choose wisely and help your kingdom thrive.
