Developer 1M Bits Horde and Meta Publishing (who also published Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous) are announcing Nested Lands, a new medieval-set, "brutally challenging" multiplayer survival RPG in which the world has been ravaged by a plague. Check out the first trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.
1M Bits Horde describes Nested Lands as such: "In Nested Lands, you’ll start from nothing, rising to overcome monumental challenges and make your fame echo across the kingdom. Craft all the tools and resources you need to survive a harsh, highly interactive environment, build a settlement from the ground up, battle vicious foes, and recruit allies to help you. The unpredictably harsh weather and the coming winter are also your sworn enemies, and the highly detailed world full of random events won’t grant you a single moment’s rest. Every decision you make will be carefully watched and evaluated. Will your name be praised by all, or will its very sound instill fear into the common folk who dwell in this massive open world? The choice is yours."
An alpha test will kick off this summer, with a beta scheduled to follow near the end of 2024. Wishlist Nested Lands on Steam if you're interested.
