The Forgotten City News

Salve Friends,

Last week we told you about some good news regarding The Forgotten City being nominated for two BAFTAs.

Today's piece of news is in the same vein: we are proud to announce that The Forgotten City has been awarded "Best International Video Game" award from the French "Académie des arts et techniques du jeu vidéo" during the Pégases 2022 ceremony!

Once again, thank you for your support and spreading the word about our game!

Salve friends,

We have lots of great news to share with you!

2021 has been an exciting year for The Forgotten City and 2022 is starting just as well.

First, after many requests, we are happy to announce you can now experience The Forgotten City in Japanese with the addition of subtitles and menu localization.

Second, on a more personal note, we are thrilled to be officially able to tell you that we were nominated to the 2022 BAFTA awards in the following two categories: EE BAFTA Game of the Year & Best Debut Game!

While the Best Debut Game is a jury awarded prize, you can vote for EE BAFTA GotY here and show your support for The Forgotten City: https://ee.co.uk/why-ee/baftagames
