German developer ION LANDS and publisher 505 Games announced a delay for Nivalis, a cyberpunk life simulation game set in the same world as 2020's Cloudpunk.
Nivalis was first announced in 2022. The following year, we learned of a 2024 release window. However, ION LANDS has now set the launch for Spring 2025, citing the desire to provide the best possible experience.
Here's what you can expect in this peculiar game:
Making it in this cyberpunk city isn’t easy. The gangs want to harvest your organs, the Corps will fine you for breathing, and the whole time, the ground under your feet is crumbling. This city could fall into the ocean tomorrow, so you better make your fortune today. You’ve got to start small: a food stall, a noodle stand, a stim store. Build your way up to a bar, a restaurant, or even a nightclub.
In Nivalis, you choose how to spend your time in the city. In this unique slice-of-life sim with realistic weather simulation and night and day cycles, you can grow your business, meet strange and diverse characters, form friendships, and experience the danger and wonder of this cyberpunk voxel city.
- Experience your simulated life in Nivalis, and choose how you spend your time each day.
- Manage businesses like restaurants, ramen stands or night clubs.
- Buy or grow your own ingredients.
- Explore the city with your own boat and go fishing.
- Decorate your home or buy and customise a new one.
- Discover the stories of the people you meet in the city, your friends, your customers, and maybe even find love.

Nivalis will be released for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. There's no mention of a console release in the press release. However, Cloudpunk eventually launched on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. It's likely the same will happen in this case, too.
