ISLANDERS: New Shores

ISLANDERS: New Shores returns with a fresh take on the minimalist city-building formula—calm, creative, and quietly strategic. Reimagined with upgraded visuals and expanded gameplay, this new chapter invites you to shape beautiful island settlements while chasing smart placement, clever synergies, and satisfying high scores.

Build and evolve your cities across 50 unique levels, generated to keep each run feeling distinct. With 44 building types available across 6 diverse biomes, every new island becomes a different puzzle: balancing space, terrain, and scoring opportunities to create the most efficient (or simply the most scenic) layout. Many buildings come in four color variations, helping you personalize your islands while keeping the clean, recognizable style the series is known for.

Play Your Way

  • High Score Mode – For players who love optimizing every placement and pushing the scoring systems as far as they can go.
  • Sandbox Mode – A relaxed, creativity-first option with separate saves, perfect for building without pressure.

Deeper Strategy, Smoother Flow

New Shores introduces more dynamic ways to score, rewarding thoughtful planning and experimentation. Learn to take advantage of mechanics like line-of-sight effects, distance bonuses, and inter-island strategies to maximize your results and keep your builds progressing.

As you advance, you can also unlock Boons—single-use power-ups that offer tactical options when you need a boost or want to try a new approach. Combined with a variety of island rules and properties, each session becomes a fresh challenge with plenty of room for creative solutions.

Capture, Listen, Share

  • Photo Mode with adjustable filters and a turntable camera to showcase your best islands.
  • Expanded soundtrack featuring 75 minutes of original music designed to match the game’s calm, thoughtful pace.

For creators and streamers, Twitch integration adds interactive features that let audiences participate in the experience.

ISLANDERS: New Shores is a serene building journey with richer systems beneath its minimalist surface—ideal for relaxing sessions, strategic high-score runs, or simply crafting a new city every time you reach a new shore.
