Indie game developer Sleepy Mill Studio and publisher The Arcade Crew revealed a new release date has been set for Drop Duchy.

Drop Duchy
Drop Duchy takes on the iconic geometric puzzle gameplay we all know and love with a fresh perspective: instead of simply clearing lines, you'll be thoughtfully building a realm using pieces of various shapes and types to overcome enemy challenges. Choosing which structures are placed next to blocks of lush forests, streams or grassy plains dictates whether the land's resources can be optimally utilized while growing a bustling realm. But extra goods aren't the only thing at stake; mercenary camps will also benefit when placed beside certain terrain, calling for a challenging balance of earning perks while denying foes critical advantages before a climactic clash of forces.
The intuitive, puzzle-esque nature of placing pieces makes Drop Duchy's rewarding complexity welcoming to all. Well-played rounds lead a kingdom's forces to branch, decision-packed routes in a grand march to storm an enemy fortress. Unlock upgrades and modifiers in the form of cards, gaining new bonus-granting structures, boosts to soldier recruitment & resource gathering, and other perks through deep deck customization. Should forces fall before claiming the fortress as their own, jumping into a new round to experiment with an altered strategy takes a matter of seconds. New factions and modifiers await the most formidable leaders, keeping Drop Duchy's gameplay loop of block stacking, deck customization, and decision-making fresh in challenge and opportunity. A delightful maquette-inspired aesthetic adds charm to Drop Duchy's moment-to-moment action, upholding a cheery sense of adventure. Regardless of the battles and scenarios at hand, Drop Duchy's challenge constantly feels exciting and packed with possibilities.
