If you have been around gaming circles lately, you probably have heard some whispers about "Night Is Coming" - and those whispers are turning into roars.

All about Night Is Coming: Ultimate Guide to 2025

The Rise Of A Masterpiece

When WarpedCore Studio launched "Night Is Coming" in its Early Access, promises were made, yet there were many bumps on the road. As of now, we are looking at Version 2.1.0 in 2025.

Interesting Facts About Development

The game was initially conceived as a pure building simulator before evolving into its current form. Designs of night creatures drew heavy inspiration from medieval European folklore. Over 200 suggestions provided by the community have been added since Early Access. The development team includes former medieval reenactors. The soundtrack features references to real medieval instruments.

The latest release, it's a game changer. The development team has been slaving away, and it shows in everything about the game. Here's what everyone is buzzing about in the community:

Building System? More Like Building FREEDOM

You know that moment when you're trying to place a wall, and it just... won't... snap? That's ancient history now. The new building system is... nothing short of witchcraft:

Guys, it's literally LEGO, built an entire castle tower in minutes without swearing once. The physics engine is totally crazy - watched my silly bridge collapse and couldn't even be angry because it looked so believable. Do you want to take on the role of a medieval architect? The new building pieces are insane. Spent 3 hours just designing window shapes! Real castle defenses now! My murder holes are actually murdery. There is almost no limit to decoration - my great hall looks better than that of most RPG taverns.

These NPCs Are Smart-Dumb

Not gonna lie, I'm a bit freaked out by how real-life the villagers feel now:

Saw two of my villagers gossiping about how I ruined last winter's food stores. Oh, the nerve! They actually remember stuff! Had a villager thank me for saving his friend during a raid... last week Raiders actually think apparently  - they do not just send themselves into my damage-inflicting traps like lemmings anymore. I watched a thunderstorm: every villager ran for cover. The detail in games nowadays is just astonishing. Visibly, NPCs do not moonwalk around walls anymore! They act like real people!.

Day-Night Cycle That'll Mess with Your Sleep Schedule Daytime = Medieval SimCity on Steroids

With the sun high in the sky, it's time to let your imagination spring to life: exactly like the city builder but much more fun.

Gathering resources now feels like an actual skill - I mean, I finally found out how to angle that axe for better wood yields!. The trading system is crazy - bought tons of grain for cheap in summer and made bank in winter . Farming isn't done through a combination of luck anymore - my crop rotation game is really fired up. Villagers actually get better at their jobs - take my blacksmith as an example-she's gone from rookie to epic gear-making. Every exploration trip feels totally different- one day I'm finding a haunted mine and the next, a traveling circus type of thing.

Oh boy, when night falls...

The stronger your settlement, the nastier the nighttime nasties become - I learned that one the hard way.
New monsters will creep into your dreams-just you wait until you meet the "Wall Walker." Yeah, good luck getting any sleep with this one.

Lighting is not just for good looks anymore. This is a legitimate survival tool now. Torches genuinely matter!. There are random night events that keep you on your toes- I once had a blood moon while a wedding was going on. That was... different. You better keep your resource stockpiles healthy - running out of torches at night is no good. 

Running Your Medieval Empire Resource Management That'll Make Your Brain Hurt (In a Good Way) 

Storage now feels like playing 3D chess- I have practically designed an art exhibition for my warehouse.
The trading caravans are so full of personality-every merchant has his way of doing things and specific dealings he prefers. Each resource has a purpose in multiple recipes- the crafting chains are so addictively deep. Changing your new set of building materials altogether; wait till you try out the new reinforced stone. Yes, there is even a poop system now. My villagers complained until I built proper sewers!

Village Life 2.0

Your settlement is alive - sometimes a bit too alive! Happy villagers yield better results - built a tavern, productivity skyrocketed. Festival system is amazing - harvesting festival! Half of them got drunk and tied the knot. Family drama is a real deal - two villager families kicked off a feud over a stolen chicken. Training system is top-notch - making a master blacksmith takes forever, but it's worth it. Politics with other settlements count now - made an alliance and saved my butt when raiders hit.

Combat That'll Make You Feel Like Medieval John Wick Melee Combat That Makes Sense

You're about to really feel like a warrior. Weapons do literally wear down - had to notice the distinct dullness of my sword after bashing it multiple times against the stone. Combo system is brilliant - finally mastered the shield-bash-to-overhead-slasher move. The armor system finally makes sense - tried to arrow-spam a heavily armored knight and how I was owned. Stamina really matters in combat - no more endless sword swinging for like a caffeinated windmill. Siege weapons actually feel powerful - first time I saw a trebuchet in use, and I giggled like a schoolgirl for ten minutes straight.

Defense Strategy Has Grown a Big Brain

Defending your home has never been so fun:

Layered defenses actually work - hilarious watching raiders hack their way through my death maze
Trap systems make one feel evil genius - I combined spike traps with oil slicks. Sorry not sorry Guards actually use their brains - they spot raiders before they reach the gates now. Both sides of siege warfare rock - defending is intense, attacking is epic. Emergency systems are clutch - hit the alarm bell and got to watch my whole village turn into a war machine.
