September sure was chock full o’ city builders<\/a>, but wait, there’s more! October has a treat in store for all you aspiring mayors, too: survival city builder Farthest Frontier<\/a> is busting out of early access and going full version 1.0 later this month.<\/p>\n

This is excellent news for two reasons. First, even from its earliest days of early access, Farthest Frontier felt pretty darn complete. I played a ton of it in 2022, turning my struggling medieval town into a profitable city thanks to investing heavily in bees\u2014only to have my waxy fortune stolen by bandits in a suspiciously well-timed heist<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Farthest Frontier also has a surprisingly deep farming system involving crop rotation and soil fertility, seasonal weather that will have you dreading those bitter and dangerous winters, and a whole host of horrible diseases and afflictions your settlers will have to contend with, like dysentery, scurvy, typhoid, cholera, frostbite, rabies, and even the plague.<\/p>\n

My townsfolk had an outbreak of worms at one point, which is utterly gross. I even had issues with villagers needing treatment for bee stings because I’d built so many apiaries around the neighborhood. That’s a deep simulation.<\/p>\n

The other bit of good news: while the price of Farthest Frontier is going up with the 1.0 launch (from $30 to $35), that’s not happening immediately, so there’s still time to buy it at the early access price. And that lower price is even lower <\/em>right now, because the city builder is on sale for 25% off until October 6.<\/p>\n

So, if you’re interested in a great medieval-inspired survival city builder, you can get it now for about $22.50 instead of for $35, as it will be priced when it leaves early access on October 23.<\/p>\n

The 1.0 launch is bringing some big changes with it, according to developer Crate Entertainment:<\/p>\n
