The Political Machine website now
offers an official release date for
The Political Machine 2016, saying
the next installment in the election simulator will leave early access on
February 4th. A
post on the
Stardock forums has further details:
Take to the campaign trail on
February 4, 2016 and win the hearts and minds of America’s voters to win the
presidency in Stardock’s popular political strategy game, The Political Machine
2016.
The game offers the player a choice to compete for the presidency as one of more
than a dozen candidates such as Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton,
and more. The player can also choose to create their own custom candidate,
complete with their own unique avatar, political party, and hometown.
"The Development Team has been working on some new features for this release,"
said producer Patrick Shaw. "The game deals with topics that are current and
relevant to this year’s election and we’ve added a poll tracking feature so that
you can see how your own political races are matching up to what’s going on in
the United States right now."
Dozens of national issues including the Keystone XL Pipeline, human trafficking,
and the Iran Nuclear Deal have been added for the 2016 campaign season. New
issues will continue to be added even after the game releases.
The Political Machine 2016 is now available in Early Access on Steam for $9.99
