Pathea Games and PM Studios have dropped a new trailer for My Time at Evershine, giving fans their best look yet at the next chapter in the My Time series and confirming a 2027 launch on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The reveal follows a behind‑closed‑doors Nintendo Switch 2 demo at Summer Game Fest Play Days, where press and creators were able to go hands‑on with an early build.
My Time at Evershine is pitched as the most ambitious entry in the series to date: a 3D open‑world simulation RPG set in the same hopeful post‑apocalyptic world as My Time at Portia and My Time at Sandrock. This time, the story picks up three years after Sandrock and puts players in a very different role. Instead of arriving as a lone builder on the outskirts of town, you step into the shoes of a newly appointed Governor, tasked with turning a struggling frontier settlement into a full‑fledged city‑state.
That shift in perspective reshapes the core loop. Alongside the familiar farming, gathering, crafting, and relationship systems that defined Portia and Sandrock, Evershine layers in community‑scale decision‑making. Players will recruit new citizens, lay down essential infrastructure, weigh choices that affect the town’s growth, and navigate the push‑and‑pull between personal relationships and the needs of the wider community. The trailer leans into both sides: cozy daily life in a growing town, and larger‑scale shots of districts and structures that signal a bigger city‑building focus.
The update also teases more of the series’ worldbuilding. As Governor, you’ll uncover ancient mysteries, clash with bandits, and help chart the future of Evershine against the backdrop of a world still rebuilding from past catastrophes. Pathea is framing it as a blend of “cozy life sim heart” and “community‑building RPG scale,” with progression tied not just to your workshop or farm, but to the prosperity and character of the entire settlement.
Co‑op is returning as well. My Time at Evershine can be played solo or online with up to three friends, letting groups tackle projects, events, and exploration together. Players can also expect seasonal festivals, mini‑games, and hidden secrets across the open world, with the town and its citizens evolving over time in response to the decisions you make.
My Time at Evershine is scheduled to launch in 2027 on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. For now, the new trailer serves as both a tone‑setter for the next My Time adventure and a first real look at what taking the governor’s chair means for the series’ cozy, post‑apocalyptic sandbox.
