News Tower Gets New Trailer

Alright y’all, it’s about to get meta in here. I absolutely see the irony and hilarity in being a news outlet covering a trailer for a game about building a press empire, but that’s kind of the fun of this job, isn’t it? I never know what I’m going to cover from one day to the next (aside from reviews at least). At any rate, the developers of News Tower have released a trailer with new details on the upcoming Early Access title.

Developer Studio Nul Games and publisher Twin Sails Interactive will be releasing News Tower into Early Access later this year. News Tower is a Tycoon Management game set in the 1930s as you try to build a newspaper empire. Here is what the press release has to say about the trailer and upcoming Early Access release.

“News Tower, the tycoon management sim set in the 1930s from publisher Twin Sails Interactive and developer Studio Nul Games, showcases the range of editorial challenges players will face as they manage their newspaper in a new gameplay trailer released today. The team is currently adding new content and features as the game readies to launch into Steam Early Access later this year. A new dedicated developer playthrough video also dropped today to show off the game’s current progress and some of the features players will be able to experience at the arrival of early access.

As the founder of a newspaper in 1930s New York, your goal is to build a media empire: recruit and manage every profession necessary to your success, including reporters, photographers, janitors and the essential ads salesperson. Search for exciting news across the globe, matching your editorial line and your readers’ interests. Build and optimize your tower to ensure the well-being of your employees and gain new audiences while meeting your printing deadlines and balancing editorial quality!”

Admittedly, the idea of this game excites me greatly. I have always been fascinated with the history of the press, the history of information, and how it is spread. That is one of many reasons I started this, to provide news and reviews to people in a way that is different (more accessible and diverse) from other outlets. When News Tower releases later this year you can bet, I’ll be keeping my eye on it.
