Press release:
Dublin, Ireland (May 27, 2026) – Publisher Weekend Games and developer Biscuit Factory Games, a team of Fall Guys and Fortnite veterans, are delighted to announce the lovely little village-builder, Papaya Plaza. A relaxing and fruity snack, the game is coming to PC via Steam in 2027 and a playable demo is available now.

Become the Mayor of Papaya Plaza and transform the run-down tourist town into a vibrant destination spot and home for your villagers! Transform it from drab and dreary to warm and welcoming, improving your Town Rank as you work towards the illustrious 5-Star status!

Improving your new home will be a laidback and low-stress affair, and the design is totally up to you. With hundreds of options to choose from and art from Art Director Stef Bollen – better known as StefScribbles by her 280k+ combined social following – you’ll be able to create your very own pixel art paradise.

Papaya Plaza encourages you to play your way, by lending a helping hand to villagers and opening up new stores to earn a little extra money (which you can then spend on making your town even better!) As Mayor, the uniquely designed villagers will come to you with their problems and ideas for the town and there are lovely rewards if you choose to help out.

Key Features of Papaya Plaza

Laidback Lychee: Low-stress and low stakes, the problem-solving and city-building gameplay is the perfect way to relax after a long day.

Pixel Art Pineapple: The game’s living world is beautifully crafted in pixel art style, making it a joy to look at and be in.

Five-Star Fig: Build your village and increase your Town Rank along the way. Improve enough and you’ll become a 5-Star town; what an achievement!

Papaya Plaza will be released on PC via Steam.
