Check out the Islanders: New Shores release date trailer for yourself below:
In New Shores, players are presented with a series of beautiful islands to build on, starting each level with an inventory of buildings to choose from. Carefully considering where to place them, strategizing their unique properties to score the most possible points, and unlocking additional structures to build the tropical city of your dreams. Building upon the foundation of Islanders, New Shores introduces boons, which are one-time power-ups unlocked in each stage as you collect points. They offer a helping hand on trickier levels by allowing you to do things like duplicate buildings in your inventory, replace already-built structures, and more.
New Shores also features a new Sandbox mode that lets players run wild with their island builds. It features 44 unique building types, 7 island properties, 50 dynamic island generators, new music, boons, and more.
