Smalland: Survive the Wilds is a massive, little, open-worlder – now on Xbox, PlayStation, PC

After the best part of a year in Early Access, Smalland: Survive the Wilds breaks out with Version 1.0 on Xbox, PlayStation and PC. Are you ready for this massive, little, open-world survival adventure?

Breaking out of Early Access

Early Access period done, it’s now time for Maximum Entertainment and Merge Games to launch Smalland: Survive the Wilds to the world, in full. They do so with launch on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC (Epic or Steam), pushing out a ton of new features and challeges as they go. 

Smalland: Survive the Wilds is on the Xbox Store for £29.99 (discounted at launch if you’re quick), and introduces us to the Smallfolk. It’s these guys who have spent far too many years under ground – centuries, in fact. Now they come to the surface looking to take the Overland as their own. 

From there, an epic adventure on a tiny scale plays out. In Smalland: Survive the Wilds you’ll be left to scavenge, to craft, to build and to fight. And believe us, that new world is oh-so hostile.
