Howdy, partners!
Get ready for the biggest version of our game yet – Saloon Simulator is launching into Early Access on July 15, 2025!
To get y’all excited for the return to Blueberry and sweeten the wait a bit, we’ve prepared a major update to the Saloon Simulator Prologue.
Here’s what’s new in version 2.0:
- Full English voice-over performed by professional actors
- An expanded game intro that reveals how Cheyenne arrived in town and the conditions under which he took over the saloon
- Visual improvements – better character animations during conversations and pedestrians on the streets
- Brand new music tracks
- Improved translations and more in-depth game options (including option to keybind remapping)
- Horses! (Because what’s a Wild West game without horses?)
…And plenty more fixes, tweaks, and surprises we’ve worked on over the past year!
We highly encourage you to replay the Prologue before the Early Access release – now’s the perfect time!
A couple important disclaimers:
Although the updated Prologue now includes a freeplay mode where you can continue serving guests and customizing your saloon, save files will not transfer to the Early Access version. That means your in-game cash and progress from the Prologue won’t carry over – you’ll need to start fresh when you jump into EA.
The previous Prologue version (released a year ago) included more narrative and quest content than the version we’re releasing today. But don’t worry – that doesn’t mean the EA version is just the old Prologue with voice-over and a few upgrades.
On the contrary, the EA version more than doubles the story content, adds tons of new quests, several new characters, and two minigames.
Back then, we gave you everything we had. Now, we know that slice was a bit too big, so we’ve trimmed the Prologue to make it more streamlined, easier to complete in one sitting, and less spoiler-filled.
We hope the many improvements we’ve added will make up for the shorter runtime.
