From Press Release:
Monday, 27th July, 2026, Savoie, France – Piraknights Games and team17 have today revealed that Hell management sim, Sintopia has received its first major update since launch – the Imployee Retention Update. Available on Steam, and launching today on Epic, Sintopia recruits players as middle managers of Hell Incorporated, with their sole purpose in the after-life being to ‘re-educate’ sinners, resurrect the worthy, and turn eternal damnation into a well-oiled business machine.
Today’s release of the Imployee Retention Update for both Steam and Epic means players will have new tools at their disposal to torture assist souls in their care. The Souls Gate helps manage the traffic of wayward spirits, keeping them on track to their intended destination for a more expedient process. And, with the Ground Flattener and Souls Relocator, players can now permanently destroy annoying obstacles, and send souls back to the Hell Plaza without having to destroy any roads, all with the click (or two) of a button.
To make everyone’s life in Hell all that more pleasant, a host of quality-of-life improvements are also included in the Imployee Retention Update, with full details available to read here. Later today, the base game of Sintopia will also be at a 20% discount for a limited time, until 10th August.
Sintopia Key Features:
- Scrub souls clean – If you ever hope to climb the never-ending bureaucratic ladder, you’ll need to impress by rinsing the naughty overworld dwellers of their sins.
- Be A Big Bad Boss – Being the cog that keeps the hot wheels of Hell turning comes with many perks. Using your administrative magic abilities means you can fulfil your sadistic desire to ensure Hell runs like a well-oiled machine.
- Form a cult, host an orgy – Increase your influence and infamy amongst the Humus population using your magical powers to increase their belief in you – some may call this a cult. They would be correct.
- Build a thriving ‘Sindustry’ – Become the scrupulous imp mogul your mama always hoped you’d be! Build sin processing facilities, perfect their automation, manage hellish “imployees,” and maintain a thriving Overworld.
- Seven Deadly Sins – Cleanse your souls through an effective “re-education” process to avoid a buildup of their particular vice across too many lives.
