CONQUISTA: Tide of Wills is a colony sim and 4X strategy game announced for PC via Steam in summer 2027, developed by Micro Simulation and published by Shueisha Games. The game centers on autonomous residents whose individual passions can trigger large-scale events.
Shueisha Games announced CONQUISTA: Tide of Wills at gamescom 2026 during the awesome indies show on August 27. The game blends colony simulation with 4X strategy, and its core concept is that a nation is a collective of people. Developer Micro Simulation, a small studio based in Akihabara that started from individual development, is handling the project.
The game's distinguishing feature is that residents are not abstract numbers. Each one is an autonomous individual with desires expressed through a system called Passion. These passions can drive residents to send letters requesting support; if the player ignores them, residents may declare independence or start wars. A hands-on trial showed that zooming in on the world map reveals individual named residents living, working, and walking around, combining the breadth of Civilization with the settler-level detail of RimWorld. Management spans both domestic affairs and diplomacy, and players can conscript residents to the front lines.
Resources operate on two layers: the national treasury and the market. Prices fluctuate based on supply and distribution speed. The game is scheduled for release on PC via Steam in summer 2027. A playable demo was available at the Shueisha Games booth at gamescom, and a playtest matching the gamescom build was planned, with participants selected by lottery from the official Discord server.
