Much like a local paper, the acclaimed News Tower is being delivered to players as it finally leaves Early Access.
Sparrow Night and Twin Sails Interactive announced via press release that the 1.0 version of News Tower would be coming on November 18th, 2025, instead of the originally planned release for November 4th, 2025. The companies claim that, while the 1.0 version is stable and ready to play, the new launch date, “ensures News Tower gets the spotlight it deserves in a busy season for strategy and tycoon fans.“
“Timing matters in both newspapers and video games,” said the Sparrow Night team. “By giving News Tower its own clear headline moment, we’re making sure our players and community can experience the excitement of building their media empire without distraction.” The decision reflects Twin Sails’ player-first approach, timing Sparrow Night’s debut to ensure the game is seen and discovered by fans and newcomers alike.
Players can expect a robust list of new features expanding both strategic depth and replayability, including:
- Four More Years of News (1936–1939): Expand your publishing empire through the late ’30s with hundreds of new stories and headlines across the U.S. and Europe.
