Ylands for Windows is now available
on Steam as an
early access release. This is a sandbox adventure with throwback graphics that
represents a departure for the Arma III and DayZ developer. This
release teaser
provides a quick look, but we need to turn to the announcement for a real
understanding of the game:
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. The game can be found here on Steam:

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.
