Press release:
Cophenhagen, Denmark – 16 February, 2023.
The Cophenhagen-based (Denmark) indie games developer Hovgaard Games (the development studio behind the smash-hit sim, “Startup Company”), today announced with great exctiement and delight that their business sim/sandbox/RPG “Big Ambitions“, is coming to PC via Steam Early Access on March 10th, 2023.

“Big Ambitions” is a unique role-playing sim with New York City as your sandbox, Big Ambitions gives players one goal: achieve financial success any way they can. Much more than just managing one business, Big Ambitions is about creating an empire across an entire city.

Whether running a chain of cosy coffee shops or buying all of New York, you’ll need to start from the bottom before working your way to the top.

From deciding the perfect location for your first business, to designing the floor plan and furniture for your fifth, players are given complete creative freedom to create and manage their empire.

As your business grows alongside your aspirations, managing your time, health and daily activities is vital. It’s then down to you to decide how to spend your success. Whether it’s a set of apartments to renovate, furnish and live in, or a top of the line sports car, everything in the city can be yours, if you’re successful enough…

“Since the beginning we’ve been afraid that our goal of redefining the simulation and management genre was too ambitious. After thousands of playtests and positive feedback from early supporters, we’re confident to announce the Early Access launch date of Big Ambitions. A revolution to the simulation and management genre.” – Jonas Hovgaard, Founder and CEO.
