Stardock Entertainment Publishing Cozy City-Builder Colonus

6 days ago 4

Letting players shape a charming settlement, cultivate the land, and watch a small community flourish, Badhenke Studios has announced a publishing agreement alongside Stardock Entertainment for Colonus.

Placing a strong emphasis on exploration, production chains, and individual villagers, Colonus blends together relaxing gameplay with meaningful challenges.

On that note, Colonus is focused on discovering new lands, all while establishing thriving colonies across a world that is filled with diverse islands and environments.

Brian Clair, Director of Publishing at Stardock Entertainment, said the following:

“Colonus has all the hallmarks of an addictive, laid back, city-building experience.

I’ve been a huge city-building fanatic over the years. When you lose hours in a game without noticing, you have something truly special.

After talking with Badhenke, we knew that we wanted to work together on Colonus.”

Henrik Eriksson, founder of Badhenke Studios, also said the following:

“With Colonus, we want to create a city builder that feels relaxing without becoming passive.

Players will explore an inviting world, establish colonies across its islands, and build settlements around the needs and happiness of the villagers who call them home.

Stardock has a deep understanding of strategy games, both as a developer and a publisher, which made them a natural fit for Colonus.

From our earliest conversations, they understood the kind of experience we want to create and shared our excitement for the game.

Their experience and support will help us reach the full potential of Colonus.”

Set to release in early 2027, one can wishlist Colonus via its official Steam page.
