Tropical island farming sim Coral Island leaves PC early access in November

Developer Stairway Games has announced its tropical island farming sim Coral Island will be getting its 1.0 release on 14th November after just over a year of PC early access, and it’ll be launching for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 on the same day.

Coral Island, which entered early access last October on Steam and the Microsoft Store, is yet another entry in the ever-growing list of farming sims heavily inspired by Stardew Valley’s more modern take on the genre (it even has an evil corporate entity of its own), but it’s aiming to set itself apart with a focus on ocean exploration and conservation.

Of course, all the familiar genre staples are present and correct too, including farming, crafting, fishing, mining, decorating, socialising, and, of course, wooing, with Coral Island featuring 25 eligible islanders to romance as one season gives way to the next.
