Towers of Aghasba Early Access Launches November 19, Content Roadmap Detailed – PlayStation.Blog
A studio can only release its first game once! Everyone at Dreamlit Games is extremely excited to launch our upcoming open-world fantasy builder, Aghasba Towerwill launch in Early Access on November 19. We can’t wait for you to experience this fantasy world as you design your island with bustling settlements and nurturing ecosystems prosper while resisting a devastating invasion.
Why Early Access?
This project is an ambitious open-world sandbox developed by a small team, with core mechanics intended to allow players to shape their island however they want. This is also one of the first early access games being developed on PS5. By rolling out early access, we can engage the community in development, allowing us to better balance, mature, and iterate on these core components. This allows us to introduce new content and features based directly on your feedback.
You can still count on a fun, fantastical experience with plenty of content to explore right from the start of our Early Access journey— but we’ll be adding more updates and polish over the weeks next. Here’s a roadmap of what to expect from Aghasba Tower at launch— and throughout early access:
