Smalland: Survive the Wilds (PC) is an upcoming survival game on Steam. The title is being developed by Merge Games. In a new trailer, the title has now announced its release date.

What makes the game special? In Smalland: Survive the Wilds, you are shrunk to the size of insects and must fight for survival in the wilderness. For this purpose, you can cooperatively craft useful items with friends and build a camp. The latter is possible both on the ground and high up in the trees.

The setting of the survival title reminds of Grounded, but Smalland: Survive the Wilds is set to include a PvP mode, which can be activated by the host of the game in the settings.

Additionally, the insects and animals that otherwise make your life difficult will be one of your most important means in the fight for survival. You can tame them in Smalland: Survive the Wilds and use them to your advantage – whether you climb to lofty heights with a spider, jump through the wilderness on a grasshopper, or fly to distant places on the back of a dragonfly.

By taming and riding animals, Smalland: Survive the Wilds is reminiscent of the genre competitor ARK: Survival Evolved, with the dinosaurs being replaced by ordinary insects and animals.
