Pathea Games has revealed My Time at Evershinesuccessor My Time in Portia And My Time at Sandrock. There is currently no specific release date as development is still in its early stages, with the Kickstarter campaign expected to launch on September 24, 2024.
Now, the interesting thing about this one is that it’s not actually confirmed for Switch. Instead, Pathea Games has stated that they’re “committed to launching My Time At Evershine on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and future Nintendo platforms yet to be announced.” Oh, ‘Switch 2’ is coming, or whatever you want to call it!
This makes My Time At Evershine one of the first Switch 2 titles to be ‘confirmed’. We’ll no doubt see more titles appear when Nintendo finally reveals its next big hardware, but for now, Pathea Games can enjoy its unique position.
Let’s take a look at the key features:
All-New Story-Driven Campaign – Become the Governor of a brand new settlement on the edge of the Free Cities, facing off against the mighty Duvos Empire. Recruit settlers, build infrastructure, tame the wilderness, and lead your people to create an idyllic new Alliance stronghold with captivating characters and memorable stories to enjoy. This new sequel will feature a more clearly defined villain, offering more adventure and excitement than ever before.
New Art Direction – My Time at Evershine is the most beautiful and realistic game in the series to date. The environments are larger and more varied, the characters look more realistic, and the animations are motion-captured to create a more believable world.
Multiplayer Cooperative – First time in My time series, the campaign can be enjoyed both solo and cooperatively with up to four players, making it perfect for families and friends. The host controls the pace of the main story, while all players share resources and money, allowing everyone to cooperate and contribute to the adventure together.
Building a society – This ambitious sequel puts players in the role of the all-powerful Governor, who can not only build new facilities and explore, but also command a team of recruitable and customizable NPCs. These NPCs handle day-to-day tasks like building and resource gathering, allowing the Governor to focus on more important decisions.
Meaningful Relationships – Social games are an important part of My Time at Sandrock And My Time in Portia. IN My Time at Evershine Pathea is set to expand on these systems even further. Players can recruit up to 3 followers to accompany them on daily missions or they can send them out to do their bidding across North Eufala. Pathea is aiming for 8 to 10 romanceable characters in the campaign with dozens more scattered throughout the game. Players will also have to consider the needs and desires of their followers with fatigue and hunger affecting morale and performance. RPG players will enjoy the deep interactions between characters and the ability to form meaningful relationships, with romanceable characters integrated into the storyline and more opportunities to develop connections early in the campaign.
Taming a wild new frontier – 3 years after the events of My Time at SandrockThe Duvos Empire has taken over the Orzu Ruins, which Ethea also claims as their own, leading to a tense situation just north of the Free Cities Alliance border in the northern Eufaula region. In response, the Alliance has launched the Northern Development Plan to move settlers into the area and establish a new City-State for better defense. Evershine is one of six major new settlements in the region and will prove pivotal in the ongoing fighting.
Mod Support – My Time at Evershine will include full mod support for both single-player and multiplayer modes, allowing players to customize and expand their RPG experience. Whether you play alone or with friends, the possibilities for creativity and new content are endless.
So there we have it: a ‘Switch 2’ game has been confirmed! What an exciting time. Hopefully we’ll have more information about My Time At Evershine in the coming months, but for now, let us know in the comments if you’re planning on picking this up for the new console.
