What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We have decided to release our game in Early Access to facilitate close collaboration with our community. Your opinions and ideas are crucial in steering the game in the right direction. Through your feedback, we can enhance the performance of the game on various systems and consistently introduce new content and features to optimize the gaming experience. Early Access provides us with the opportunity to create a fantastic game together with you. We look forward to your involvement and are excited about the thrilling journey ahead!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Hidden Champion will remain in Early Access until we feel that the game and its complete scope meet our quality standards. Take a look at our overview of planned releases above and follow our social media channels for more information on update timings.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The already implemented systems will be further developed to enhance the gaming experience. The UI will receive additional information to ensure a more intuitive entry into the game. The world map will have overlays that will facilitate the player in achieving their goals. Additional features are still planned, and we will publish them on our website roadmap.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The main systems have been implemented, providing hours of entertainment. Players start by selecting an economically relevant city in seven different regions of the world to continuously increase their global market share. It is crucial to always keep an eye on the costs of production, transportation, and marketing. Only through the efficient use of marketing actions will the player become known to their customers and consistently receive new inquiries. To fulfill these within the given time, it is necessary for the player to unlock and manage new locations. Winning the game requires controlling 75% of the global market.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price may change after the Early Access phase.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will collect player feedback on the Steam forum and on our discord. We will strive to read all comments and incorporate improvement suggestions into the ongoing development, ensuring a continuous enhancement of the gaming experience.”

About This Game

Welcome to Hidden Champion

Start as a small regional manufacturer and build a company that can compete on the global market.

Expand into new regions, increase your market share, coordinate production and distribution, and grow your business into an international corporation in a dynamic sandbox economic simulation where every decision matters.

Choose Your Own Strategy

There is no single path to success.

Focus on rapid expansion, efficient production, specialized products, or long-term market dominance. Adapt to changing markets, react to new challenges, and decide how your company evolves in an increasingly competitive global economy.

Invest carefully, react to changing market conditions, and balance growth with rising operational costs as your company expands into increasingly competitive international markets.

Build Your Company

Grow from a small regional business into an internationally recognized market leader.

Open new locations, enter international markets, and increase your market share across more than 100 real cities worldwide. As your company grows, so do the challenges that come with managing production, distribution, and global expansion.

Compete in a Dynamic Market

The market never stands still.

Competing companies fight for the same customers, regions, and opportunities. React to changing demand, adjust your strategy, and stay ahead of the competition as you grow your business across the world.

Coordinate Production and Distribution

Coordinate production, storage, and product distribution across multiple regions and international markets.

Balance capacity, demand, expansion, and operating costs while growing your company into a competitive global corporation.

Expand Your Production

Build and upgrade factories, offices, warehouses, and logistics centers to support your growing business.

Increase production capacity, improve efficiency, and adapt your infrastructure as your company develops from a small manufacturer into a worldwide corporation.

Every Region Feels Different

Each region comes with its own economic conditions, labor costs, productivity levels, and market opportunities.

Entering a new market can create huge opportunities — but it may also force you to completely rethink the way you run your company.
