Overseer Games has announced it is delaying the release of its city builder grand strategy hybrid Kaiserpunk The game will now be released in its 1.0 state on February 27, 2025.
The 10-person development team is reluctant to delay the game, and did consider Early Access but decided a full delay would be in the best interest of its potential audience.
The developer made an official statement explaining why they decided on this strategy for Kaiserpunk’s release.
“Our small team of 10 has been working tirelessly to ensure that Kaiserpunk exceeds the expectations of the 130,000 players who have already wishlisted the game. We’ve made the tough call to delay the release, but we believe it’s the right choice. Entering Early Access was considered, but ultimately, we felt that it wouldn’t do justice to the full vision of Kaiserpunk.” said lead designer Danijel Mihokovic.
“We’re not against Early Access in principle, but for a game like Kaiserpunk, we believe it’s crucial for players to experience the entire journey in the best possible light.”
“Even if some publishers don’t recognize the potential of what we’re creating, or are too hesitant to try something genuinely new, we won’t compromise. Players come first, and as [Tim] Bender said, I also wouldn’t sign with 90% of publishers out there.”
The developer promises to fill the void by launching a series of in-depth feature articles exploring all Kaiserpunk aspects. These articles will offer insights into the game’s mechanics, world-building, and the creative process behind its development.
Overseer Games describes Kaiserpunk as the ultimate city builder and grand strategy combo set in an alternative 20th-century world. It allows players to engage in epic battles on land, sea, and air, or use their economic power to emerge as the ultimate victor.
You can find Kaiserpunk on Steam.
