Hello everyone,

Thank you for continuing to faithfully follow SONZAI throughout development. We realize the game's development has been quite long, and we can't thank everyone enough for continuing to support us. As we come to near the end of 2025, we want to ensure everyone SONZAI is still in deep development but we are in the final sprint. We hope to have more information for everyone in early 2026, as well as news about when you will finally be able to try a demo for yourself.

In the meantime, we're incredibly proud to announce that we've won Tencent's Games Without Borders Bronze Award for Small Teams. We are very happy to accept this award next to lots of other innovative titles such as Blue Prince, Karma The Dark World, Tiny Bookshop, and more.

With now over half a decade in development, we believe SONZAI has a lot of promise and we cannot wait to share more with everyone.
