New York Prepares for Towering Takeover as Independent Publisher Rises to Power

November 04, 2025 – New York City

As the ink dries on the final editions of test print runs, all eyes are on an up-and-coming publication preparing to shake the very foundations of the newspaper world. News Tower, a newspaper tycoon management game set in the hustle and grit of 1930s New York, will officially launch on November 04, 2025, bringing players into the chaotic, colorful, and competitive heart of the city’s golden age of news.

According to sources close to the press floor, the 1.0 version of News Tower will include a full suite of features designed to challenge, delight, and immerse aspiring tycoons in the fine art of publishing.

FEATURES HEADLINED FOR RELEASE:

🗞️ Live the Life of a 1930s Publisher

Step into the polished shoes of a fresh-faced editor in 1930s NYC — build your paper, break the news, and rise through the ranks as you try to dominate the city’s information economy.

🏙️ Compete for Control of the City

Outmaneuver rival newspapers like The Jersey Beacon and Empire Observer in a strategic battle for district dominance. Watch your control over New York grow as you push your competitors out of strategic positions on the map to claim your newfound readership!

🤝 Align with Powerful Factions

Will you cozy up to the Mayor’s office, follow military orders, dine with High Society, or deal under the table with the Mafia? Each faction offers quests, bonuses, and political weight — but choose carefully. Favor with one may sour your relationship with another.

🏢 Manage Your Tower from Top to Bottom

From layout to logistics, manage every floor of your growing empire. Upgrade rooms, assign departments, and fine-tune your workflow from the first word to the final print.

🧠 Master the Newspaper Business

Curate your stories, choose your editorial tone, and decide how sensational or serious your paper will be. Balance reputation, perception, and revenue as you chase the perfect front page.

😊 Take Care of Your Employees

A happy employee makes for productive staff. From late-night deadlines to a clean workplace, your team’s well-being matters. Keep them motivated, rested, and ready to roll those presses.

🌍 Uncover stories from across the globe

New York isn’t the only place making headlines. As your newsroom grows, so does your reach. Send reporters out into the world to chase leads, uncover hidden scandals, and bring back stories that will captivate your readers and define your legacy.

What’s Next?

Between now and launch, we’ll be releasing more deep dives into 1.0’s biggest features, like the ones already done for competitors — such as a closer look at factions, and more.
