Press release:
WROCLAW, POLAND – OCTOBER 4, 2023.
The L.A.-based (CA, the US) indie games publisher Snail Games and Wroclaw-based (Poland) indie games developer Donkey Crew, are today very happy and proud to announce that their town-building/survival/RPG “Bellwright“, is coming to PC via Steam Early Access this December (2023), with console versions to follow 2024.
Accused of regicide and sentenced to a fate worse than death under the watchful eye of the monarchy, you’ve been forced into the shadows, biding your time and building your forces. After narrowly escaping an assassination attempt, you will lead a rebellion against your homeland’s oppressive Sovereign to victory, uncovering the truth of your family’s secret along the way. The bells shall ring for freedom once again!
Establish and expand your own settlements, liberate the land and assist its villagers, and recruit others to your cause while uncovering more about the life you had to leave behind. Command your forces to stand against the Crown, prove your valor through combat, and cement yourself as the hero of your people.
Bellwright Key Features:
Build and Expand – Construct buildings, gather resources, and expand your town’s infrastructure to accommodate new settlers and their needs.
Survive and Thrive – Overcome environmental challenges, fend off threats, and manage the well-being of your citizens in a dynamic and ever-changing world.
Form Alliances – Interact with other in-game factions, negotiate alliances, and trade resources to strengthen your town’s position.
Discover Secrets – Uncover hidden mysteries within Bellwright’s rich lore, offering players the opportunity to unlock new technologies and advantages.
Bellwright received a roaring reception from the Steam Community during Steam Next Fest in June 2023, achieving over 100,000 wishlists. Since then, the development team has exhibited the game at Gamescom 2023, receiving an overwhelmingly positive reaction from press and industry attendees alike.
Bellwright is set to debut in Steam Early Access this December, allowing players to join the game’s development journey at ground floor level. Early Access will provide an opportunity for Steam players to shape future updates with their valuable feedback, and be among the first to experience the magic, mettle and majesty of Bellwright.
