News: Smalland: Survive the Wilds Launches on Nintendo Switch 2
Maximum Entertainment has announced that the open-world survival adventure Smalland: Survive the Wilds is now available on Nintendo Switch 2. The release brings the complete experience to the platform, including all post-launch updates previously released on PC and other systems. Players can step into the role of the Smallfolk, a tiny civilization navigating a vast wilderness where everyday nature elements become immense landscapes. The game emphasizes survival in a miniature world filled with towering grass, insects, and creatures, requiring players to craft tools, build shelters, tame wildlife, and adapt to changing weather and seasons.
Key features highlight the game's immersive scale and gameplay depth. Traverse lake-sized puddles, scale skyscraper-sized trees, and explore cavernous cracks in roads across diverse biomes like dense forests, hazardous swamps, and ancient ruins. Craft powerful armor sets that offer elemental resistance, unique abilities, and customization options, such as winged armor for gliding or grappling hooks for swinging between trees. Tame and ride various creatures including Geckos, Scorpions, Grasshoppers, Damselflies, and Spiders to traverse the environment efficiently. Scavenge and refine resources to construct encampments either on the ground or high in the canopy, and claim a Great Tree to create a portable base that travels with you across worlds. Uncover ancient lore through hidden NPCs while learning to survive as one of the smallest beings in a dangerous ecosystem.
Smalland: Survive the Wilds supports solo play or cooperative multiplayer with up to 10 players total. The Nintendo Switch 2 version includes major updates like guilds, stables, The Underlands, and more, ensuring a fully featured launch. Originally released on Steam in February 2024 by Merge Games and published by Maximum Entertainment, the title has received positive reviews for its creative survival mechanics, crafting depth, and sense of adventure on a tiny scale. Preparation is essential in this hazardous world where most creatures view the Smallfolk as prey. A launch trailer is available on YouTube for those eager to see the Switch 2 gameplay in action.
