Press release:
Leicester, UK – 27th February 2024.
The Leicester-based (the UK) indie games publisher Kasedo Games and Chicago-based (Illinois, the US) indie games developer SomaSim, are today super happy and excited to announce that their business tycoon game “Rise of Industry 2“, is now in development for PC and consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X/S).

1980’s USA is a place of rapid innovation, globalization and unprecedented profits. From establishing profitable production chains to rubbing shoulders with the great and the good of the corporate world, Rise of Industry 2 offers an immersive business tycoon experience for both casual tycoon players and wannabe CEOs.

Rise of Industry 2 enters a new era in more ways than one, with development studio SomaSim taking over development to bring fresh new ideas to the boardroom, as well as a stylistic new art style and exciting new ways for players to become an industry leader.

For the first time, players can climb the business ladder across 15 unique and exciting scenarios in the all-new campaign mode, while still defining their own success in the returning sandbox mode. Social connections also come to the series where players must network with CEOs of other companies to trade in materials and finished products, and get introductions to their powerful friends in the industry.

“We’re thrilled to be working on a game with an existing player-base and a devoted community such as Rise of Industry 2. Being big fans of this genre, we immediately saw ways that we could build on the success of the original and take it to a new level. We know players will have certain expectations of a sequel, and we’re excited to be able to meet those, while still bringing in a range of innovative new features for new and existing players alike”, said Matt Viglione, Co-Founder of SomaSim.

“Continuing our relationship with Kasedo Games also made this an easy decision for us to make”, adds Rob Zubek, Co-Founder of SomaSim.

“This will be our third game working together following Project Highrise and City Gangsters and the relationship we’ve built over the last decade has been a great foundation for us to really hit the ground running”
