If you love Stardew Valley, there’s a good chance Coral Island is already on your radar – but if not, it absolutely should be, and now this fantasy-tinged life sim is ready for launch. Having already racked up an impressive 91% positive Steam rating during early access, developer Stairway Games has now set the Coral Island release date for November, with a whole raft of new features inbound for the full release.

With a robust character creator and a diverse cast of characters to make friends with, pets to adopt, and of course plenty of dating options that can go all the way to marriage and raising a family together, Coral Island has all the trappings you’d want and then plenty more on top, which has secured it a ‘very positive’ 91% rating on Steam since its launch in early access just over a year ago, with 6,767 reviews at the time of writing.

Coral Island 1.0 includes a pretty big update, with plenty of additional content from the early access version including a storyline that will have you helping the townsfolk to revitalize Coral Island.
