About Westlanders

Survive a realistic open world that’s teeming with life and fraught with peril. Venture out with trusted friends in PvE multiplayer. Or go it alone.

Explore vast landscapes from your customizable wagon, relocating as needed to seek out vital resources, hidden locations, and unique characters.

Struggle against nature. Frostbite, heatstroke, disease and wild animals are all threats that could end your life.

Progress through an extensive tech tree based on late 1800s technology. Go from bushcraft and improvised weapons to iron forged tools and firearms.

Build and customize your own settlements, supply them through farming and mining, and transform the wilderness into bustling hubs.

Optimize your production lines through research and worker automation. Establish a network of settlements across the entire valley and recruit the NPCs you meet to live there.

Connect your outposts and settlements with roads and logistic networks to ensure your people thrive. Go beyond survival and forge your legacy in the Westlands.
