Press release:
Walnut Creek, California – March 24, 2025.
The Walnut Creek-based (CA, the US) indie games publisher Maximum Entertainment and Sweden/EU/Asia/Australia-based indie games developer Brimstone, are today very happy and proud to announce that they have just released the “Nature” update for their chaotic co-op city builder “Overthrown” (the said update is available right now for PC via Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview).

Overthrown invites players to hurl anything and everything to the wide-open sky (from houses and trees to your very own citizens) to create the kingdom of your wildest dreams in a wild, fast-paced race to rule.

Since its Early Access launch, Overthrown has already received a major update earlier this year, introducing exciting additions such as firebombs, powder kegs, woolies, and extended seasons. Today’s ‘Nature Update’ continues to expand the game’s dynamic world with new tree species, environmental zones, citizens, abilities, and much more.

Key Features of the Nature Update Include:

New Builder’s Workshop & Builders, Foragers Hut & Foragers, Weaving Mill & Weavers
New decorative props such as scarecrows, hay feeders, and soldier posts
A mighty new weapon: The Greathammer
New tree species including fir trees
Enhanced lighting
Overhauled user interface (UI) for improved accessibility
A new ‘bowling’ effect when tossing boulders
Expanded buildings and citizens with unique abilities
Introduction of Theatres and Bards
And much more!

Overthrown is available now in Steam Early Access, in Xbox Game Preview, and available day one with Xbox Game Pass. The game will later release into 1.0 across Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5.

Play as Runa, 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 and manage alone or with friends in up to six-player co-op. Explore varied buildings like the butcher shop, ale house, and sawmill, watch the changing of seasons, farm your land, and harness the power of your magical crown!
