Ylands Now Out on Steam
Prague, Czech Republic, December 6, in the year of
our Lord 2017---Bohemia Interactive, today, announced
the official release of its new sandbox adventure game, Ylands,
on Steam Early Access. The beautiful open-polyworld of Ylands
completely unleashes players' creativity to craft, explore, and
create anything they have ever imagined. Bohemia's hardcore
titles, Arma and DayZ, are known for their huge open terrains,
lots of gameplay freedom, many opportunities for content
creation, and their involved community. While this
family-friendly title might look like a very unusual addition at
first sight, Ylands aims to bring exactly those elements that
made Bohemia successful to a brand new group of gamers.
Ylands is a unique sandbox game that lets players explore their
creativity. Players can seamlessly switch between single and
multiplayer modes while exploring uncharted ylands, laying siege
to castles, engaging in naval battles, taking part in car races,
crafting monumental structures or quirky things like crab armor,
cheese walls and much more. Ylands lets you live your childhood
fantasies and create your own new adventures.
Another powerful feature of the game is the Ylands Editor. With
interactive scripting and thousands of objects to play with, it
makes Ylands much more than yet another sandbox game. It's a
platform where players can create their own games and share them
with others through the custom-made Workshop.
"You don't need any special skills or knowledge to become a
creator in Ylands - if you have an idea, that one creative
spark, you're all set," said Aleš Ulm, the Creative Director of
Ylands. "We can't wait to see what players think about our game
and hope that together we'll shape it into something unique" he
added.
Ylands is now available for purchase and play, and as a special
bonus early birds will get a 20% discount from now on until
December 11 (normal price: €15 / $15 / £13). With the core
features already implemented, the developers are planning to
spend roughly six months in Early Access, mostly polishing
gameplay and multiplayer aspects so it can be released later in
2018.
