Towers of Aghasba Early Access Launches November 19th, Content Roadmap Detailed – PlayStation.Blog

A studio can only launch its very first game once! Everyone here at Dreamlit Games is incredibly excited to debut our upcoming open world fantasy builder, The towers of Aghasbawhich launches in Early Access on November 19. We can’t wait for you to experience this amazing world as you design your island with bustling settlements and nurture thriving ecosystems while fighting the withered invasion.

Why early access?

This project is an ambitious open-world sandbox developed by a small team, with core mechanics intended to let players shape their island however they want. It’s also one of the first early access titles in development to come to PS5. Starting with early access allows us to involve our community in the development process, allowing us to better balance, polish 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, great experience with plenty of content to explore right from the start of our Early Access journey – but we’ll be adding further polish and updates in the coming weeks. Here’s a roadmap of what to expect Towers of Aghasba at launch – and through early access:
