Welcome to Nivalis!

Making it in this cyberpunk city isn’t easy. The gangs want to harvest your organs, the Corps will fine you for breathing, and the whole time, the ground under your feet is crumbling. This city could fall into the ocean tomorrow, so you better make your fortune today.

You’ve got to start small: a food stall, a noodle stand, a stim store. Build your way up to a bar, a restaurant, or even a nightclub. Eventually, you’ll own all the nightlife in Nivalis. You’ll own the night!

In Nivalis Nights, you choose how to spend your time in the city. In this unique slice-of-life sim with realistic weather simulation and night and day cycles, you can grow your business, meet strange and diverse characters, form friendships and experience the danger and wonder of this cyberpunk voxel city.

Fans of ION LANDS, the creators of Cloudpunk, have eagerly awaited the Nivalis Nights since its initial reveal in 2021. Since then, the team has worked tirelessly to refine the game, ensuring players get the best possible experience at launch.

505 Games and independent developer ION LANDS are excited to announce a September 29, 2026 Steam release date for their upcoming cyberpunk life sim Nivalis Nights (formerly known as Nivalis), with an Epic Games Store release to follow at a later date.

"As an independent studio, developing this game meant overcoming hurdles we’ve never faced before, and we are incredibly grateful to our community for their patience over the last five years,” says Marko Dieckmann, Creative Director at ION LANDS. “Today, we are thrilled to finally lock in our official release date and cannot wait for players to dive in, meet Ava, and experience the city's quirky charm."

505 Games, ION LANDS’ publishing partner, has accompanied the team on their journey to build the cyberpunk slice-of-life sim. “We have been excited about this project for a long time and watching it come to life has been an extraordinary and rewarding experience,“ says 505 Games President, Neil Ralley. “With the release date not far away, we can’t wait to finally welcome players to the city of Nivalis and discover its secrets.”
