Press release:
CALABASAS, Calif. – Jun. 20, 2024.
The Milan-based (Italy) indie games publisher 505 Games and Berlin-based (Germany) indie games publisher & developer ION LANDS, are today very excited and happy to announce that their restaurant management/slice-of-life sim “Nivalis“, is coming to PC (via Steam and EGS) next Spring (2025).

“Nivalis” has taken on a life of its own, growing and evolving in ways we are eager to share with you. To give a glimpse of what’s to come, please check out the newest trailer featuring lots of never-before-seen locations, train travel and story hints through Ava, one of the main characters you will meet in the game!

ION LANDS highest priority is to ensure that Nivalis provides the best possible experience for the player and the team appreciates the patience and support they have received from the ever-growing community as ION LANDS navigate through this creative journey.

Nivalis, a cyberpunk slice-of-life sim from ION LANDS, returns to the eponymous city from Cloudpunk. Make a mark in this starry, neon-lit future by expanding from a humble noodle stand or nightclub into a booming enterprise. Meet strange characters, discover a bustling underworld…or just enjoy a humble life of fishing and home decoration far above the clouds. A future of many possibilities awaits in Nivalis in Spring 2025 on Steam and Epic Games Store.

Later today, Nivalis will also be part of the “Games Made In Germany” showcase event shown on Steam and IGN’s YouTube channel. Once the event is over, Marko Dieckmann (Creative Director, ION LANDS) will showcase Nivalis in a post-showcase stream hosted on the “Games Made In Germany” Steam page.
