Why you might like it

  • A buy-to-play relaunch with no subscriptions or microtransactions, a return to the sandbox genre's older, simpler monetization model.
  • Previous Kickstarter backers, Citizen's Pass holders, and Steam buyers of the original game are all eligible for a free key when it fully launches.
  • Playtesting officially opened to all previous backers in mid-2026, showing real forward motion after a long quiet period.
  • Designed to support player-run custom servers, continuing the sandbox community's tradition of self-hosted worlds like Shards of Britannia.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • This is the third or fourth attempt to relaunch this game's underlying codebase since 2020 — approach any single relaunch with appropriate caution given that history.
  • Development communication has been inconsistent, with long gaps between developer updates that led outside observers to publicly wonder if the project had quietly died.
  • No firm public release date exists beyond 'coming soon' on its Steam page as of mid-2026.
  • There is no official player server planned — you'll be relying on community-run servers for your actual gameplay experience once the game does launch.
