Oberhaching, Germany, November 8th 2024 - Developer Superkami and publisher Toplitz Productions are excited to announce that their multi genre open-world village builder, life simulation and survival game Sengoku Dynasty Version 1.0 is now available on PC.
After just over a year in early access, and with several defining content updates under its belt, the immersive world of medieval Japan is brought to life in stunning detail.
PC players can now embark on their own legacy in single player or with up to three of their friends in multiplayer in the co-op mode as they begin to create their own dynasty set in feudal Japan's tumultuous past.
With the release of version 1.0, Sengoku Dynasty introduces significant new features, including regions you can conquer to secure your rise to dominance. Face more dangerous bandits and their camps as you fight for control - now also in FPP. Players also have the option to skip the battles and focus on unlocking new regions through peaceful means and securing access to rare resources to unlock unique technologies, propelling their dynasty forward. This system offers deeper immersion into feudal Japan's constant territorial struggles, providing players with dynamic regional control. While combat and conquest enhance progression.
A character editor and playable female character also round out the new customization content now available for players.
Combining its rich blend of survival, crafting and exploration, PC Players will need to set about transforming a famine-stricken and war-torn land and building a settlement where its inhabitants can thrive. Resources such as bamboo, wood, ore and stone will be key materials in construction. Not only that, but these resources will also provide the raw materials to develop the farming tools and weapons they need such as bows and even katanas, essential for protecting their communities from the bandits that roam the countryside.
Sengoku Dynasty has been a labor of love for Superkami which has maintained a priority to ensure a realistic and faithful representation of the historical context of 16th century Japan from traditional craftsmanship, weapons and fabrics, to buildings, architecture and customs through extensive development research.
Players will have the opportunity to undertake the foundation of traditional subsistence and resource-based economies, all of which are integral to Sengoku Dynasty’s many tasks of village management. Aspects such as mining, smithing, hunting and farming are at the core of a stable and self proficient community.
Sengoku Dynasty’s major content updates have been transformative in enhancing the gameplay experience during early access, refining player progression, improving A.I, daily village production and consumption balancing, expanding farming options as well as introducing an intuitive combat system.
Jan Cieslar, CEO of Superkami, comments “We are grateful for Sengoku Dynasty’s time in Early Access and all the feedback we've received from our community. You've helped shape the game into what it is today. We're excited about Sengoku Dynasty’s future—there’s still much to come in 2025, including console ports that will bring the game to new players for the first time.”
Sengoku Dynasty provides PC players with a choice to build their legacy from the ground up, choosing to embrace the lifestyle of either a monk, leader, craftsman or warrior and use the perks of each specialization as they forge their dynasty and honor the traditions of Japan’s historic past.
