Here is an overview of the game, via Maximum Entertainment:

About
Lift and throw anything as you build and manage your kingdom in this chaotic city builder for one to six players. Harness the power of your soul-stealing crown to defend your citizens from bandits and mutants, farm the land, and gather resources. Keep citizens happy or see them desert you for the outlaws!
You play as a Monarch in possession of an ancient soul-stealing crown with magical abilities. With its power, establish a kingdom in a perilous wilderness and defend it from mutants and bandits roaming the land.

Build, gather resources, farm the land and more to turn your fledgling realm into a commanding, self-sustaining kingdom. As your fame grows, more will flock to your banner—but so will those who have come to overthrow you, including your friends in up to six-player co-op.
Key Features
Build Anywhere – Construct a kingdom from scratch and transform the wilderness into a developed community. Decide which buildings go where, and then manage your citizens to automate everything from there! Don’t like where you placed something? Just pick it up and toss it somewhere else!
Lift Anything – Throw whole trees at the sawmill to make planks or run through the forest carrying your sawmill to absorb trees along the way! Resource gathering is fun and easy thanks to your crown’s power. Or maybe you have too many enemies around. Pick up monster nests and place them near bandit camps to have them fight each other instead (and obtain free loot!).
Fight Like an Anime Protagonist – Villagers being eaten by mutants? Run across a lake at 100 km/h to rescue them in time! Being shot at by outlaws up in the hills? Spin-attack so fast that you take off like a helicopter and descend on them from the skies!
Survive the Seasons – Manage resources and stockpile enough food to last the winter. Guard your farmlands (and peasants) from hungry mutants while waiting for your crops to grow. Keep polluting workshops away or see the land turn barren. Ultimately, keep your people happy or see them desert you for the outlaws.
Play with Friends – Overthrown can be played offline in singleplayer, or with a group of up to six friends in online co- op! However – only one can wear the crown.

Release Date Trailer

Update 10/10/25: Maximum Entertainment has delayed Overthrown from October 16 to “before the end of the year.”

Here is the full message:

Dear Overthrown players,
We’ve made the very difficult but necessary decision to delay the release of Overthrown 1.0 and the PlayStation 5 version to give our team additional time to address several technical issues that we believe are too important to overlook.
While it was not an easy call, we are fully committed to delivering the best possible version of the game and it would be a disservice to both our work and our community to rush the final release. That said, we want to reassure you that Overthrown 1.0 is on track to launch before the end of the year.
We’ll continue to keep you updated as we move forward, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding.
With gratitude,
The Maximum Entertainment Team

Update 12/05/25: Maximum Entertainment has delayed Overthrown again, this time to 2026.

Here is the full message:

Hello Citizens,
First off, we’d like to thank everyone for your continued patience and support for Overthrown. While we had initially hoped to release 1.0 this month, after careful consideration the team feels it is necessary to move the launch to next year. Our biggest priority is ensuring the game is in its absolute best shape for you all, and this additional time is necessary to accomplish that goal and deliver the best player experience. We aim to release into 1.0 with the Airship Update as soon as we can.
We’ll continue to keep you updated each step of this journey while our team is hard at work to polish the game for launch. We look forward to delivering all the new 1.0 content to you soon.
With gratitude,
The Brimstone and Maximum Entertainment teams
