MONTREAL, JUNE 9, 2024 - Announced today during the PC Gaming Show, as part of a fun Kitfox Games publishing segment, the team at Kitfox is proud to reveal their next internally developed game — Streets of Fortuna.


Streets of Fortuna is a free-roaming, sandbox RPG with freeform gameplay in a dense, seamlessly generated city inspired by Constantinople circa 500 AD where players will take their character and truly shape their destiny through every decision.


Described by the team as a ‘megasim’ for its truly deep simulation and made in design consultation with Tarn Adams of Dwarf Fortress, Streets of Fortuna is set to be the most ambitious game in the history of Kitfox as a developer and a game for players who love emergent gameplay and stories.


"Running about Fortuna hustling, scheming, causing trouble, or maybe even living an honest life should be a great deal of fun," says Tarn Adams of Bay 12 and creator of Dwarf Fortress. "Kitfox is taking a lot of care in building this procedural city and fleshing it out with furniture and objects and people that know how to use them as they go about their lives. Putting all of their effort into detailing a single rich location gives them the opportunity to make a unique sim that isn't like anything else."


Streets of Fortuna will be a game that will evolve throughout development, receiving frequent updates and changes, and will launch into Early Access on Steam. Kitfox does not have news to share on a release window at this time. The team will be hosting a Reddit AMA later today for anyone with burning questions.

  In addition to Streets of Fortuna, Kitfox is also hard at work on their internally developed tarot-themed tea brewing game, Loose Leaf: A Tea Witch Simulator, which was announced last December during Day of the Devs - The Game Awards Edition.

About Streets of Fortuna
Fortuna is the city of your dreams! Or it will be, if you can survive.


Streets of Fortuna is a free-roaming 'megasim' sandbox RPG with emergent chaos rather than a linear story. Use your wits to live as a thief, a blacksmith, a rebel, a priest, a smuggler, a lover, a cook, or just a street rat. Someday perhaps you can challenge the Overlord that rules over Fortuna with an iron fist.


Features
 

  • Freeform gameplay in a dense, seamless, generated city

  • No job or class system to constrain you, only heaps of skills to grow

  • Made in consultation with the creators of Dwarf Fortress to optimize for emergent player stories

  • Simulated people and communities for infinite hours of 'megasim' gameplay

  • Focus on narrow escapes and heists rather than toe-to-toe combat

  • Original, richly textured world and lore, loosely inspired by Constantinople circa 500 AD


Follow your heart, your whims, or your ambition. Whether you're the kind of player that likes to collect, explore, climb the ranks of power, or just cause chaos, Fortuna might be your new favorite city.
