A week earlier than planned
Underwater citybuilderAquaticowill submerge players on January 12th, 2023. This new release date comes a little more than a month after its release was set for January 19th, but I won’t look a gift seahorse in the mouth. There’s also a new trailer below which breaks down how you’ll build your very own Rapture equivalent.

Aquatico is the kind of citybuilder that’s concerned with logistics: how much fuel, oil, electricity, and oxygen you’ve got, and whether it’s efficiently routed throughout your sprawling, multi-tiered city. From the menus, it looks like there are dozens of different resources to create, and aDwarf Fortress-sized jobs board to maintain the necessary production chains. I can see everything from “Squid hunter” to “Fashion designer” listed, alongside 18 different kinds of drone.
In the higher levels of your multi-tier city, you’ll also need to satisfy the demands of your growing population. Simulated from crade to grave in enormous domed districts, your peeps require not just food but luxuries, education, security, religious fulfillment and more.
Aquatico looks engrossing and daunting. Rebecca felt the same way whenshe selected it as one of the best demos from Steam Next Festback in October. That demo isstill available from Steam now, if you want to give it a go before its full release next year.
