Severed Lands is an upcoming MMORPG that promises to immerse players in a world divided by contrasting societies, meant to shape the world through community involvement. The game is set on a continent split between two distinct societies: Siparia and The Pitts, and plans to feature solo and group PvE content while predominantly catering to a hardcore PvP crowd.

There have been a number of Indie MMO’s hitting Steam lately, and the latest listing, Severed Lands is set to appeal to the niche harcore PvP crowd, alongside what the team describes as solo friendly, player-driven world. The game's announcement trailer offers up a taste of the games visuals, showcasing the diverse landscapes and  battles that players can expect. The trailer hints at the vast open-world, interesting polygonal character designs, and some high-stakes combat that will be central to the gameplay.

One of the standout features of Severed Lands is its player-driven economy. The majority of in-game items will be handcrafted by players who gather and create their resources. Players can choose to run their own shop, engage in buying, selling, or trading activities, and choose how they want to get their inventory. Players will also be encouraged to establish a home. You can stake claim on land, construct structures, cultivate and farm land, and raise livestock.

Combat in Severed Lands is depicted as action-packed, despite the game not favoring twitch style combat. Rather, the game boasts an action combat system where all attacks need to be carefully aimed and timed, catering to those with knowledge of their skillset rather than simply catering to the fastest reaction speed.
