TinyBuild, along with co-developers Hologryph and TowerHaus, has finally set the stage for the highly anticipated release of SAND, a groundbreaking player-versus-player-versus-environment (PVPVE) game. Mark your calendars as this thrilling open-world adventure will roll out in early access for Windows PC via Steam on April 3rd.
SAND invites players into an expansive desert realm, where the remnants of a once-thriving planet now serve as a battleground for survival. Players will find themselves piloting colossal walkers through challenging post-apocalyptic dunes, as they engage in fierce battles, scavenge for resources, and attempt to escape with their plunder.
The game features a unique element that sets it apart: the creation and management of Tramplers. These massive walking bases act as fortresses on legs, offering protection from hostile environments and enemy forces while carrying your hard-earned loot. Whether you’re looking to traverse the desolate landscapes safely or wage war on anyone who threatens your supremacy as a feared pirate of the sands, Tramplers are your ultimate ally.
Set against a backdrop of an alternate 1910, SAND tells the story of the Galicians, hailing from a corner of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Faced with desperation, they return to the decayed lands of Sophie, a once bountiful world, now reduced to wasteland. Driven by a quest for wealth and justice, players will have the opportunity to unearth historical treasures buried beneath the sands.
The heart-pounding first-person PvPvE combat offers a choice: team up with friends or test your mettle solo. Whether battling against real players or the undead remnants of Sophie’s ancient inhabitants, the game promises adrenaline-pumping action with a variety of weapons and strategic options.
SAND also encourages exploration and discovery. The remnants of a fallen civilization hide unimaginable wealth, waiting to be claimed. From deserted cities to forgotten monuments, players must traverse these perilous terrains, snagging precious loot while staying vigilant against rival pirates eager to snatch it away.
Get ready to embark on a journey of survival, combat, and exploration, as SAND immerses you in a world where every step on the shifting dunes could lead to fortune or doom. Will you rise to become the most infamous pirate to roam these treacherous sands? Your adventure begins April 3rd!
