City 20 is a unique survival sandbox title that launched into early access back in 2024. It’s a dystopian, unforgiving world that presents impressive levels of freedom to the average player willing to dig through the game’s layers. In the game’s most recent update, the ‘Bunker Update’, those layers have been expanded, and now, players are heading underground.
The Bunker Update introduces several underground areas to the wasteland of a city that players call home in this open-ended title. Additionally, the team at Untold Games has expanded the game’s lore and overhauled many existing areas, making the world more immersive than ever.
City 20 Continues to Evolve in Early Access
In the Bunker Update, City 20 fans will finally get to head deep underground, as nine new areas are being introduced by Untold Games, all of which are bursting with ‘loot and secrets.’
This includes:
- Lab 01
- Statistics Agency
- Anti-Atomic Raboch Bunker
- Mausoleum
Many of the game’s core areas have been overhauled and rebalanced, with Untold Games addressing spawning conditions, AI behavior, and interior layouts.
Additionally, players will get their hands on new gadgets, tools, and mechanics, namely the new GPS Gadget that adds a minimap and NPC tracking. Talking of NPCs, Untold has tweaked some of the animations and behaviors of the many unique NPCs that occupy City 20.
The Bunker Update also adds many quality-of-life improvements. For instance, the player camera has been updated to be more fluid, interacting with stoves, campfires, and furnaces has been enhanced, and several UI and HUD changes have made the game more intuitive and transparent.
If you’re on the fence about City 20, here’s what we said about the game in our 2024 review:
It’s not inaccurate to suggest that City 20 has unlimited potential. Players are free to go where they please, build what they want, make friends with who they desire, and kill anyone they cross paths with. It’s not a true apocalypse, but it’s not far off the mark, with players being left to survive in a city walled off from the rest of the world 20 years after a radioactive incident.
