Victorian survival game Nightingale is about to get a major building upgrade

The future looks bright for Nightingale. It's never nice to see a game face a troubled launch, especially one as spectacular to look at as Inflexion Games' Victorian gaslamp fantasy world. Fortunately, the survival game has seen a gradual and continued recovery from its rocky start with the dramatic Realms Rebuilt overhaul, and it looks to have paid off. Now, it's focused on the future, and that starts with one big upgrade to base building as the developer returns to working on a larger city environment that reaches back to its original MMORPG roots.

Survival game Nightingale has plenty more plans after Realms Rebuilt overhaul

The Victorian inspired gaslamp fantasy world of Nightingale holds a lot of promise, and with the launch of its dramatic Realms Rebuilt update in September developer Inflexion Games is beginning to truly deliver on that. The hefty overhaul featuring a more prominent story and progression systems, along with expanded built limits, has seen the embattled survival game's recent Steam reviews climb from 'mixed' to 'mostly positive.' A few weeks on from its arrival, Inflexion CEO Aaryn Flynn and art director Neil Thompson sit down to discuss the reception to Realms Rebuilt, and to talk about what's next.
