June of 2024 brought cozy gamers a quirky, loveable city builder called Go-Go Town that is just full of fun. In the game, you are unceremoniously dropped off in a town that has seen much better days. In fact, it was once a bustling tourist town, but now it doesn’t see much of anything anymore. Tourists don’t visit, and people don’t even live there anymore. TownCo. wrangled you into some sort of deal where you become the mayor of this town to revive it totally. That means you not only have creative license to decorate and arrange it how you like, but you also need to manage residents, resources, and so, so much more! 

The last two years have seen some awesome things added to Go-Go Town: new vehicles, online co-op, emotes, decorations, and way more. There have even been fun seasonal events to celebrate real-world holidays like Halloween, Lunar New Year, and Valentine’s Day. Of course, there have been bug fixes and QOL updates, too. The developers have done an incredible job with the game, and they’re not done yet. 1.0 releases July 16th, bringing even more awesome content to give cozy gamers the best of the best. 

1.0 Features

The first thing to know about the 1.0 release of Go-Go Town is that your early access saves will not be compatible. You won’t lose those saves and can still play on them, but they will not be 1.0 saves. That said, starting over will be worth it to get to see all the changes. There will be two different modes to choose from. Story Mode to experience the story and progression of the game as is intended, and Creative Mode, where you can flex your creative muscles. Creative Mode is perfect for testing out layouts and decorations before totally committing to something on a Story Mode playthrough! 

For all of you collector types, rejoice, because Go-Go Town will have treasure hunting. That means, as you’re wandering through town collecting wood or stone, you may come across some unique treasures, fish, and bugs. You can then display them in the Town Hall. Enjoy a revamped tech tree, reworked EGO, and town economy. Plus, there’s going to be upgraded progression and challenges to bring even more fun to the table. You can also look forward to a vehicle garage (to store all our cool vehicles??) and off-road driving. Who doesn’t want to go crazy across the back country? There will be new shops to build, recipes to craft, and a totally revamped tutorial to make learning the game even easier. 

Release Date

Over the coming week, there will be more specific information released on what’s coming to Go-Go Town in the 1.0 release. This update drops July 16th on Steam, which is just about a week away!
