and found it to be “brutal, cruel, and very fun.”

The developer said feedback from the recent beta as well as prioritizing certain features it’s already working on sparked the decision. “We know that this is not the news you wanted to hear,” 11 Bit Studios said. “However, we believe that these additional features are something you deserve to see in-game from day one, not in a patch added after the release.”

, game directors Jakub Stokalski and Łukasz Juszczyk said the average rating players gave the beta was 8/10. As a result, it intends to “bring to the front” certain features and modifications the developer believes players will “enjoy the most.”

Highlights include new additions to the game mechanics, “extensive” UI and UX enhancement and, “by popular demand”, a new city feature called Zoom Stories, which are basically zoom-ins available in specific city parts that allow you to watch the day-to-day life of your citizens. Early feedback on these additions have been very positive, Stokalski and Juszczyk said.

“That’s why we hope these few weeks of additional waiting time that we need to implement all the new features will be met with your understanding and won’t test your patience too much,” they added. “From now until the release, we will share with you behind-the-scenes updates so you can see how these additions are coming to life.”
