Indie developers and publisher tinyBuild, Hologryph and TowerHaus invite you to survive a multiplayer, action-packed, mech-fueled desert world: On June 10, SAND: Raiders of Sophie will launch on Steam! Customize enormous, modular mechs, scavenge the wide desert, and engage in combat with other vicious gamers and terrifying foes. Take part in SAND’s open server slam playtest via Steam starting this weekend to get a preview of the action!
Check out the SAND: Radiers of Sophie Summer Game Fest trailer HERE
SAND takes place in a dieselpunk, alternate-history environment on the destroyed planet Sophie, where the oceans have vanished due to an ecological catastrophe. Humans and their Trampler mechs—titanic mechanical moving creatures capable of traversing Sophie’s vast wasteland—are all that remain. Humanity now searches Sophie’s vast deserts, either alone or in groups, looking for hidden wealth and battling to keep it. SAND provides a novel alternative for gamers who like the excitement of extraction shooters without the harsh learning curve or for survival game enthusiasts who are sick of logging in to discover their base overrun.
Players will find dangerous new PvE Trampler mechs to battle in SAND’s current server slam playtest, along with more weapons, Trampler customization options, and areas of interest. Additionally, there is the new Storm Dive Mode, which offers even more risk and rewards in addition to a furious storm that gradually reduces the safe areas on the map, forcing players to engage in a final battle against one another with a large Dreadnought shipwreck to plunder as your prize!
SAND: Radiers of Sophie Key Features:
- FORGE YOUR FORTRESS, DOMINATE THE DESERT: Design your Tramplers from scratch in the Trampler Editor before deploying into the world. Build your very own modular impenetrable fortress that can weather the deadliest of assaults. The only limits are your creativity and will to succeed!
- SQUAD UP OR GO SOLO: Get your crew together, or go solo as you embark on expeditions. Deploy into the world, chart your course, and scavenge cities, ruins, shipwrecks and other remnants of a fallen world for loot.
- MULTIPLAYER DIESELPUNK ACTION: Every city looted, shipwreck scoured or ill-timed encounter with fellow scavengers endured might just be your last, so keep your wits about you. Survive encounters with mysterious supernatural forces, fight or talk your way out of confrontations with other players, successfully make it to your extraction point, and escape to the safety of the orbital station with your loot, life and Trampler intact.
- BRAVE THE DUNES: Test your builds and scavenge lower-tier items at your own pace in Voyage Mode, or raise the stakes with a shrinking map and escalating dangers in Storm Dive Mode for higher-tier loot and greater rewards.
- PERSISTENT PROGRESS: Unlike traditional survival games, SAND eliminates the dreaded offline raid; your Trampler extracts with you at the end of each session. Build, fight, extract, repeat – without losing everything while you sleep.
SAND: Raiders of Sophie is heading to PC on June 10 on Steam. You can venture into the open playtest on Steam now. To learn more about SAND, visit the game’s website, and follow along with the latest updates on X and Discord.
