If you are looking for the neon-soaked, dystopian setting of Cyberpunk 2077 but with the life simulation features of Stardew Valley, then you will want to keep an eye on this 2026 release, which aims to combine the two in a stunning and immersive extravaganza. Developed by ION LANDS, Nivalis will see you build your business from the ground up in a city where advertisement rules the roost.

Nivalis Is A Cyberpunk Restaurant Sim

Set in the neon-soaked, dystopian city of Nivalis, Nivalis will see you “grow your business, manage restaurants and nightclubs, make friends and enemies, buy and decorate apartments, go fishing, and maybe even find love”. Put simply, in a city that never sleeps, you will find everything that makes a life simulation title revolutionary and luckily, it is set to launch later this year.

With the developers reaching the “final stretch” of the project, Nivalis is just around the corner, but if you are looking for a simple and light-hearted life sim like Stardew Valley, Nivalis may not be the one for you.

Welcome to Nivalis! Making it in this cyberpunk city isn’t easy. The gangs want to harvest your organs, the Corps will fine you for breathing, and the whole time, the ground under your feet is crumbling. This city could fall into the ocean tomorrow, so you better make your fortune today.

You may start small, purchase a simple food stall and hand out noodles to the residents of Nivalis, but before long, you will be a business tycoon, as long as you can keep up with the demands of a city where convenience is a must. If you stand tall, however, you will soon own the night and the very city itself.

Cyberpunk 2077 Meets Stardew Valley? I’m In

As a certified Cyberpunk 2077 fan, Nivalis has been on my Steam wishlist since it was first announced, and it is not hard to see why. Offering a unique slice-of-life experience with realistic weather, day and night cycles, the opportunity to meet strange and diverse characters, and even form friendships (or make enemies), this is everything that I have been looking for.

With the chance to explore the city at will, choose how you spend each day and night, manage your various businesses, and discover the stories of the residents you share the streets with, Nivalis is guaranteed to be a stand-out 2026 release, and one that you should definitely add to your wishlist now.
