Early Access 0.1: live on September 2nd!

Political Arena is entering Early Access on September 2nd!!

Watch our release trailer, subscribe to our socials (Discord | X/Twitter | Instagram | Bluesky | YouTube) and – if you really want to do us a solid – Wishlist us on Steam.

Our first Early Access release is all about the people, power and politics that drive Congress and the legislative process.

Customize your own Representative or Senator and navigate a vibrant, drama-filled — sometimes hilarious, sometimes maddening but always engrossing — Washington.

Already the game is filled with countless things to do, and no two playthroughs are remotely the same…

…try to legislate as an aisle-crossing maverick when your majority leader is hyperpartisan and vengeful.

…strategically decide where allocate your limited staff budget and reap the skill boosts that a good staffer brings (or the penalties that a bad one does).

…see what happens with no filibuster.

…engage in strategic brinksmanship and try to wring every last concession out of the other party during budget negotiations before the government shuts down. And if the government shuts down? Try to cut the best deal you can before public opinion turns against you. Just don’t say anything dumb in the press.
