Each city builder brings its own twist to the genre, but few take the risk of completely shaking up a formula that has been established for decades. This is the challenge of Memoriapolis, a French game that today revealed its release date.
Memoriapolis is a somewhat unusual city builder. You certainly have to build your city, make it grow, manage its resources and resolve the problems that may disturb the peace of the inhabitants, but it adds an interesting little twist: it's not just about building a city, but making it prosper from antiquity to nowadays.
Thus, ancient buildings become ruins over time, new, more modern neighborhoods emerge, and the population changes. The player is free to manage his story as he sees fit: will he preserve the monuments of the past or will he raze everything to create something new, to the point of erasing his identity? This is what Memoriapolis offers.
Memoriapolis is coming soon to your PC
Moreover, the game has very flexible gameplay. No roads to draw, no squares to fill, construction is organic. You place the buildings on the map, then leave the city develop by itself. For example, the population will naturally draw a large avenue according to the arrangement of the buildings. This avenue, which, even if the city changes face over the ages, will be preserved. Clever, but also realistic.
At Phonandroid, we already told you about Memoriapolis a few months ago. While in early access, the game had greatly seduced us with its potential. Soon, the title will be available in full on Steam (PC), since the French studio 5PM has announced its release date. It will be for April 30, 2025.

For the occasion, we even have the right to a small launch trailer. If you can't wait, you can already play the early access version. While the game isn't yet complete, this version offers a good overview of what the French studio wants to offer with its title.
Will Memoriapolis be the big surprise of the year in the small world of city builders? We'll see this at the end of April.
