Sunkissed City needs more time in the sun, not the spotlight

Sunkissed City looks like the perfect life sim: warm, seaside, and filled with fresh fruit. But, just like a vacation, you have to keep counting down until it arrives. Its creator, ex-Stardew Valley developer Arthur ‘Mr. Podunkian’ Lee, needs to delay it one more time.

“I think it’s time I have to admit to myself that SKC’s 2025 release window’s slipped :(,” Lee writes on Twitter.
