The playtest for a new PVPVE game called SAND is currently underway and available for free to those who sign up today. In SAND, players are thrown into the desolate deserts of the fallen planet Sophie, on a quest to uncover resources and treasures. Players can design and modify their own Trampler, a walking mech that helps them navigate the harsh terrain efficiently.
Set in an alternate history version of 1910, the game explores a scenario where the Austro-Hungarian Empire conquers other planets, but a mysterious ecological disaster forces settlers to abandon planet Sophie. Now, the bravest and most impoverished individuals from the empire journey to Sophie in search of hidden riches and a chance to change their lives.
Although a release date for the game has not been announced yet, with tinyBuild as the publisher, more information about SAND may be revealed at upcoming gaming events. It is important to note that signing up for the playtest does not guarantee entry, as the number of players allowed into the game depends on server capacity and developer decisions. However, a full beta is expected to start on Steam this summer, allowing more players to experience the game.
Overall, SAND offers a unique gameplay experience set in a fascinating alternate history world, promising challenges, rewards, and a chance to explore the mysteries of planet Sophie.
