Town to City, a cozy city builder where you can build a 19th century Mediterranean town and help it flourish into a prosperous city, will launch in Early Access for PC via Steam on September 16, publisher Kwalee and developer Galaxy Grove announced. A full release will follow in 2026.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Break free of the grid in Town to City: a cozy city builder that invites you to create a beautiful and bustling community.
Freely place houses, shops, and amenities and natural elements to delight your residents and encourage new families to move in. As your population grows, so can your ambitions: create multiple towns that can grow alone or thrive together, helping the whole region develop and prosper.
In story or sandbox mode, you’re free to build at your own pace, placing each flower bed with pixel precision, or prioritize growing your economy and developing your town into a thriving city.
Shape Your City
Truly grid-less building sets you free to lay out your town however you like. Plan out carefully ordered rows of houses and city districts, or grow outwards organically with residences, amenities, parks, and plazas connected by winding streets and alleys.
Unleash Your Creativity
Beautify your settlement to your heart’s content with a plethora of customization options. Set up lighting, plant flowers, and wooded parks, and decorate houses and buildings to complement or contrast. With gorgeous voxel graphics as a base, it’s easy to create something beautiful that you’ll want to capture with the in-game photo mode.
Nurture Your Community
As your town flourishes, you’ll need to meet the needs of your growing population. Provide amenities that will cater for everyone—from workers to artisans and the bourgeoisie—alongside specific requests by individual residents. Get to know each person as they arrive in town and watch them settle down to form new families in the homes you built for them.
Grow Your Economy
Assign workers to jobs, research new buildings and decorations, and boost your sleepy settlement into a bustling center of commerce. As you expand beyond the bounds of your first town, you’ll pursue new developments in farming and tourism by building new towns, all connected by trade and travel routes.
