Press release:
BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND – Dec. 6, 2023.

Once a bustling hub of tourists and culture, Go-Go Town! has fallen far from its prime. As soon as you arrive, you will find yourself (involuntarily) volunteering the role of Mayor, where it will be up to you and your friends to save the town and bring life (and tourists!) back to its heart.

In the upcoming playtest, players can look forward to:

Creating and managing a thriving town – balancing townie happiness, commerce, transport and construction!
Building and constructing from scratch – from taking charge with a chainsaw to diving into the depths of the local quarry with a drill, it’ll be up to you and your friends to collect the materials to build the world as you see fit.
Constructing a bustling hub of shiny shop boutiques, and hiring your favorite townies to run them!
Managing your profits – How will your shops generate income? What will they sell? How will you ensure that your supply chains stay intact? All decisions come down to you, Mayor!
Transporting yourself (& your materials) in style – Pushing the various transport options to their very limit – hang on to your hard hat as you careen over the land in your go-kart or master the ollie on your skateboard.
Growing your community spirit – Convincing your eager tourists to become a part of your townsfolk!

Built from the minds of AAA industry veterans at Brisbane-based developer Prideful Sloth, the development team, led by a former Activision producer and Rocksteady Technical Artist and Engineer, are bringing players a world of their imagination in Go-Go Town!

Launching in 2024, Go-Go Town! will give players even more agency over what they create, customize, and how they run their town. With many gameplay expansions still to come in:

Various incredible establishments to create (from flashy, premium dance clubs, to vibrant neon arcades)
Even more ways to earn your keep (mining, fishing, and raising very adorable livestock!)
Automating all your town’s processes (hiring shopkeepers, artisans and hot dog sellers),
Transforming your town via terraforming, and creating roads for your various vehicles
Continuously expanding, upgrading and evolving your town!

Players who sign up for the playtest today can ensure to stay up to date with all developments in this vibrant, charming town creation simulator!

Go-Go Town!’s co-op playtest will launch in February 2024. Sign up for the playtest here!
