Manchester, UK - 31st January, 2024 - Today, Maximum Entertainment publisher Merge Games are thrilled to confirm that ‘Smalland: Survive the Wilds’ will be graduating from Early Access, launching Version 1.0 from 15th February! Coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, the open world multiplayer survival challenges players to thrive amongst the colossal and immersive world of the Smallfolk-a tiny race of people striving to conquer the towering overland left behind by the giants.
 
Traverse lake-sized puddles and mountainous trees as you battle against the landscape and elements themselves. Tame and ride monstrous creatures from grasshoppers to geckos in a bid to survive in a harsh and wild world. Play solo or with up to 9 friends, with dedicated server support recently added to enhance the multiplayer experience.

With three Early Access content updates under its belt, Giant’s Fall, Forbidden Monuments and the Amber Valleys have expanded the rich landscape with new biomes, enemies, mounts, NPCs, emotes and more. But the ‘Smalland’ journey is far from over...

Version 1.0 brings with it a whole new road map for continued content support throughout 2024.   Developed and published in-house, ‘Smalland: Survive the Wilds‘ launched to Early Access via Steam and Epic back in March, hitting a peak of over 52k daily players in launch week and garnering over 1.9 million Twitch watch hours to date.

In the latest trailer, explore what lies beyond the burrows in the vast scope of the world of Smalland. From the arid desert biome with its venomous threats, to the heights of the vast forest and the hidden ruins nestled deep within.   Uncover ancient lore scattered throughout a multitude of diverse biomes as you learn to survive, battling the hostile wilderness and elements themselves.

Tame and ride wild creatures including colossal bugs, birds, lizards and more, with each mount providing a unique means of traversal.

Craft powerful armour sets to personalise your appearance and arm yourself with a myriad of lethal weapons from great hammers to ballistic and cannons.   Build encampments and claim a Great Tree to design a base that will follow you to any world, allowing you to join any server and take your camp with you.

Develop your Smallfolk by leveling up your character and mounts, while scavenging resources to refine and craft gear, items, food and more.

Players are invited to explore solo or with up to 9 additional friends in multiplayer as you battle to conquer the world and its inhabitants.
