Publisher 505 Games and developer ION LANDS have announced that Nivalis Nights, formerly known simply as Nivalis, will launch on Steam on September 29, 2026. An Epic Games Store version is also planned but will arrive at a later date.
Developed by the creators of Cloudpunk, Nivalis Nights returns players to the neon-lit city of Nivalis, blending life simulation mechanics with a futuristic cyberpunk setting. Originally revealed in 2021, the project has spent several years in development as the studio worked to refine the experience ahead of launch.
In Nivalis Nights, players are free to shape their own lives within the sprawling cyberpunk metropolis. They can build businesses ranging from noodle stands and small bars to thriving restaurants and nightclubs, while also fishing, farming, decorating homes and exploring the city’s waterways by boat. The game also features relationship-building, allowing players to form friendships and even pursue romance with the city’s residents.
505 Games President Neil Ralley said the publisher has closely followed the game’s development and is eager for players to finally experience its world:
“We have been excited about this project for a long time and watching it come to life has been an extraordinary and rewarding experience. With the release date not far away, we can’t wait to finally welcome players to the city of Nivalis and discover its secrets.”
