EXTRY! EXTRY! News Tower is Set to Launch Into Early Access This November!
Developer Sparrow Night and publisher Twin Sails Interactive have just announced that their management sim, News Tower, will leave Early Access and launch into 1.0 on November 4th, 2025. News Tower puts players in charge of a chaotic 1930s New York newsroom on a quest to build a media empire.
Here are just a few of the new features coming in 1.0:
Competitor System - The battle of popularity begins here, and only one paper comes out on top. The Jersey Beacon & The Empire Observer will challenge your influence in the region. Every week becomes a decision: should you expand your influence to new territories, or face a rival head-on to oust them completely?
Perception System - Time to define your editorial voice. Are you informational, moderate, or sensational? Do you chase hard facts, balanced stories, or eye-grabbing headlines? Your editorial line will now shape how readers view your paper and unlock specific ways to gain extra sales.
Faction System - The Mafia, the Military, and High Society. Each faction includes two NPCs, each with their own quests and agendas. Helping one might make enemies of another, so navigate carefully. Build your reputation, completely missions and earn unique reward for your newsroom. Each faction holds specific perks and trade-offs to ensure your choices have an impact on your gameplay.
Other new features include: new building towers, leaderboards, and localizations.
News Tower is available now in Early Access via Steam at a discounted price. Players can check out the full 1.0 launch on November 4th, 2025.
