Merge Games have unveiled new details about their Open World Survival title, Smalland at Gamescom including some new information on what to expect in the video that debuted on the Future Games Show. Smalland is due to arrive on consoles and PC next year and have said the developer has said they’ll be making more announcements about the game soon.
I was excited to see some new information emerging about Smalland as the the screenshots they’ve previously shared look stunning and the idea of the co-operative online play sounds amazing. Let me know what you think and whether this is a one of the games that you’ll be keeping an eye on, it certainly is for me.
What The Developers Say About Smalland
“Smalland is a survival game on a much larger scale. You’ve been mysteriously shrunk to the size of a pebble and thrust into the great wilderness. Before you can begin to try and figure out why, you’ll need to find food, water, and shelter.
Diving into combat, crafting, building, and customisation, Merge reveals brand new gameplay and details of the epic landscapes you will be able to explore. Featuring dynamic, ever-changing environments where creatures react to each other as well as the world around them, Smalland sees players emerge into a giant overgrown world where they’re shrunk down to the size of a pebble.
Changing weather, rotating seasons, and a full day/night cycle all add unique challenges and are another massive feature of Smalland, as players explore across an expansive open world environment. In the video, Kev also dives into customisation detailing some of the ways players can adjust their character and skills to be uniquely them, and align themselves with new creatures to gain abilities — which can protect them, or move them up the food chain!“
