Ancient Forge has announced Hotel Galactic, a cozy management simulation game inspired by the visuals of Studio Ghibli movies. It is planned for release across PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC via Steam. Specific PlayStation and Xbox platforms were not specified. A Kickstarter campaign will launch on July 9.
“Hotel Galactic is a massive step forward for all of us at Ancient Forge,” said Ancient Forge vice president and technical director Maksymilian Strezelecki in a press release. “It’s an idea that had been percolating for a couple of years in pre-production, as we took our time to make sure the design and all its constituent parts meshed well to create this beautiful, nostalgic world. The technical demands were substantial, but the end result is a dynamic, immersive experience that I’m proud to share.”
Ancient Forge CEO and creative director Dushan Chaciej added, “Hotel Galactic is the project that utilizes everything we’ve learned in the last ten years or so. We aimed to create a wholesome and engaging experience for players that love to watch their simulated little dudes end up in all kinds of weird situations. Personally, I can’t wait to see what the world thinks of what we’ve been working on for the past three years.”
