After months of improvements and working with player feedback, Memoriapolis, the city-building game from 5PM Studio, will leave Steam Early Access on April 30, 2025. The game first launched in Early Access on August 29, 2024, and players have loved its unique approach to city growth through different historical periods. The full version will let you build cities across 2,500 years of history, from ancient times to the 1700s.
Memoriapolis isn’t your typical city-builder. While most games in the genre focus on a single era or a linear progression of upgrades, this title challenges you to guide a settlement through four distinct historical ages: Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the Age of Enlightenment. Each era introduces new mechanics, buildings, and challenges, reflecting the evolving needs and complexities of a growing civilization.
Early Access began with just the first two ages, Antiquity and the Middle Ages, allowing you to establish your city’s foundations and navigate medieval struggles. The Renaissance arrived in a major update late last year, and now, with the full release, the Age of Enlightenment will complete the timeline, offering a grand finale to this historical saga.
What sets Memoriapolis apart is its organic growth system. Unlike traditional city-builders where you meticulously plot every road and building, this game employs a unique algorithm, crafted with input from an urban planner, to simulate realistic urban sprawl. Citizens shape the city’s layout as they move between key structures like forums, markets, and fortresses, creating a living, breathing metropolis that feels authentic.
With the Steam City Builder Fest discount running until March 31, 2025, now’s the perfect time to jump in and experience the game’s final Early Access build or wait for the full launch to see it in its entirety.
