Dear players,

We are thrilled to announce that Arcane Wilds is now available in Early Access available to play for everybody. This means you can now play:

1) Arcane Wilds' unique mission mode in which you play solo or with up to three friends and choose your own adventure and customize your faction and your own home island to your preferences. Two different factions are available for play.

2) Academy: A set of scenarios which acts as a tutorial but also as challenges where you can earn lots of gold medals and show how good you play the game.

3) Custom: You can play 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 and FFA online, in LAN or offline with or without AI players. In this mode, you play as the three base factions Army, Colony and Tribe.

Watch Andy's Take taking on missions in the Demo of Arcane Wilds!

Arcane Wilds is a fantasy tinged new Wild West RTS with an imminent demo

Combining the horse riding and city building of the American Frontier with scary fantasy creatures, new strategy game Arcane Wilds feels a bit like you tossed Age of Empires, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Fallout 76 into a box and gave it a good hard shake. Coming from indie studio Avancadia, this RTS puts a distinctive twist on proceedings by emphasizing your resource management and production lines, and you'll be able to try it out for free thanks to a Steam Next Fest demo ahead of the game's now-announced release date.
