Publisher Owlcat Games recently released new trailers for three upcoming indie titles at the OTK Games Expo, one of which is the multiplayer survival game Nested Lands, where players can either go it alone or team up with friends to build a settlement and survive the plague.
A devastating plague has swept through the world, transforming it beyond recognition. A once lush, peaceful kingdom is now dark and mangled, with droves of bloodthirsty bandits and unpredictable madmen twisted by the plague roaming the lands. Show any sign of weakness, and death will come swiftly and painfully. There is no place for hope here; the remnants of humans, embittered and mutilated, can only pray to live another day.
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.
The trailer showcases updates made in response to player feedback during the Alpha playtest, including: a fully rebuilt Village Management system, a completely reworked combat system, brand-new animations and NPC systems, new buildings and polished graphics, a fully rebuilt Plague system, and much more.
The Nested Lands demo is available on Steam; the game will be released on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC later this year.
