Nivalis Nights Launches on Steam After Multi-Year Delay

Overview

• The game went live on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, with publisher 505 Games setting coordinated launch times for multiple time zones.
• Nivalis Nights centers on running and customizing a ramen shop, with players able to design seating, decorations, and menus as the core management loop.
• Players can progress from a noodle stand to larger restaurants and nightclubs while exploring the voxel city, taking on quests, courting NPCs, and playing light mini-games like fishing.
• The title returns to the Cloudpunk universe but shifts genre from narrative cyberpunk to a single-player slice-of-life sim, trading open-world action for focused management and social systems.
• After a development run that began with a 2021 reveal and a missed 2023 target, outlets say the launch is out now on Steam and coverage is expected next to track reviews and any post-release updates.
