Farom Studio is excited to officially announce Age After Age, a next-generation city-building and economic strategy game where players guide their people across both classic historical timelines and alternative eras such as Steampunk and Gothic.
The studio confirms that Age After Age is in active development. While the release date is not being announced yet, the game is planned for PC, Steam Deck, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms. The title has already been selected for the ID@Xbox program.
A City Builder Driven by Choice, Logistics, and Evolving Societies
In Age After Age, players begin with a small pier and a few hundred settlers, expanding their society into a complex, interdependent town. The game centers on deep logistics, supply chain management, class-based citizen needs, global trade, and research-driven progression.
What defines the experience is the Era Switching System – a progression model where players can continue through a classic historical timeline or divert into multiple alternative universes, each bringing unique aesthetics, technologies, mechanics, and societal transformations.
Custom Environment Control System – Farom Nature
Farom Studio also revealed that Age After Age will utilize a new in-house technology:
Environment Control System: Farom Nature

While specific technical details are not disclosed yet, the system handles:
- Dynamic daily and seasonal weather.

This system will directly influence gameplay in Age After Age, adding challenge, storytelling depth, and long-term world evolution.
