Iron Nest: Heavy Turret Simulator, developed by Dominik Latos and Nick Nieuwoudt, is set to launch worldwide on Thursday, 6 August, following a well-received demo at a previous Steam Fest. The confirmed release matters to fans of niche simulation titles, as it caps off a period of anticipation from those who tried the demo and follows through on the developers' announced schedule with no expected changes.

The game launches at 4pm BST (8am PDT, 10am CDT, 11am EDT, 3pm UTC, 5pm CEST). Players take charge of a large war machine, managing levers, dials and ammunition while using teleprinters to monitor radio traffic, respond to incoming requests and take aerial photos to plan their next move. A demo remains available on Steam for those wanting to try the gameplay before committing to a full purchase.
