Go-Go Town! Major Update Arriving September 15

The Build and Bustle update promises to elevate the management gameplay of Go-Go Town! to new heights. Scheduled for release on Sunday, September 15, at 7pm PT / 10pm ET, this update introduces a wide range of new features designed to fuel the growth of your bustling town. Players will now be able to purchase additional land using EGO currency by locating Stanley S. Trollson, a "suspicious NPC" who will hang around the edges of these locked zones, ready to expand your town’s borders.

New Features in Go-Go Town's Build and Bustle Update

The update brings a major expansion to the city-building mechanics, allowing players to customize their industry zones. You’ll have the ability to shape and size farming, fishing, mining, and forestry areas, each functioning as an independent zone. For those looking to boost their resource production, multiple zones of the same type can now be established.

Another exciting addition is the new fast travel system—a four-line subway network that makes getting around town much easier. In addition, players will gain access to car parks and vehicle racks, offering a convenient way to store and retrieve rides. By interacting with these storage spots, you can bind a vehicle to them and recall it whenever needed.

The update also includes fun new features like a hedge maze and introduces six new townies to interact with.
