The winds across the ‘West are changing, as smoke signals are sent far and wide to deliver the message all Warriors have been waiting for:
This Land Is My Land is out now on Steam as a full release, bringing the game out of Early Access!
This anticipated release includes all the game’s prior major updates, together with a large number of fixes in order to polish the game to its fully released state. So, to say thank you for supporting us, enjoy the base game at 30% off, until October 27th!
What a wild three years of development it's been! In this time, we've included the following and much more:
Railroad and Trains
Our recent train system update enhanced the tension and conflict across the frontier! Used to deliver resources to help settlers re-establish and strengthen their offense to take your land, this system completely changes the mid to late gameplay. But you have the ability to fight back! Throughout its construction, prevent settlers from building sections of the railway by blowing up the train, destroying construction camps, and more.
Realistic Needs
Thirst, Hunger, Fatigue, Illness—these basic human needs come into play as you make your way across the frontier. Hunt, source, and craft food to satisfy your hunger and rest near any lit campfire. Protect yourself from and make remedies for a variety of diseases that existed in real-life 19th century America.
Realistic Damage
Heavy bleeding?! Broken limb?! After high demand, realistic damage is available to add another level of realism and danger to your "This Land Is My Land" experience. Every character, including the chief, suffers from combat aftermaths on different body parts and various effects such as shock and infections, where each will require quick action to overcome them or die. We added lungs, heart, and testicles to enemies, and when you hit these parts, they cause extra damage and deal heavy bleeding.
Realistic Nights
Our toggleable Realistic Nights mode has added another layer of immersion to the game - turned on, it makes nights in-game quite dark and realistic, improving immersion even for the most hardcore player.
The Ability to Burn Down Enemy Settlements
Burndown enemy settlements or order your warriors to attack the settlement for you, and allow them to burn it.
A reworked SOCIAL tab
We completely reworked the SOCIAL tab and added Events to add a new level of adventure and exploration, and Leaderboards to increase competition amongst players.
Customizing your Resistance
Our Resistance Creation menu gives players the ability to choose the type of resistance you want to lead! Select from the existing presets that range from Classic to Immersive Hardcore Realistic Survival mode, play at your own pace and preference, or check the options under settings and personalize your experience. World Bosses will bring new challenges, experiences, and items.
World Bosses
We also introduced world enemy bosses or non-obligatory enemies which appear as a dangerous threat on your journey. They will all pose different challenges and unique opportunities for you. You also have an option to disable this feature when creating new resistance.
The Weather System
A recent addition to the game in which occurs on specific biomes in your region and can greatly impact gameplay.
War Parties
We gave warriors the ability to create war parties, arm them with your warrior’s finest bows or guns, then have them join you on raids. Command them tactically when conquering a settlement or have them follow your movements for a more precise attack.
Over 200 settlements to Discover
Just when you thought you’d explored it all, think again! Over the course of the game we’ve added more than 200 settlements to the game including new camps, prisons, farms, and other types of settlements from the recent update, each settlement will bring different challenges that you may need to overcome.

Caches with Loot
Many treasures can be found across the new world for those who are willing to explore them. Caches filled with loot are now more prominent throughout the map, and you can find them by exploring or interrogating enemies. During the interrogation, the enemies will tell you where the loot is buried near the settlement.
Warpaints
Put on warpaints on your Hair, Head, and Body that give different attributes. You can mix and match or wear a full set for additional bonuses, check the Warpaint Store for more choices including very rare ones, the store items update at a certain time of the day.
Fishing
Fish for more than 10 different varieties, using bows and other weapons, to catch and create meals that boost your warrior's stats, as well as aid in your fight against enemies.
First-Person Perspective
Switch perspective from Third-Person to First-Person in-game to allow better aim when hunting animals or targeting enemy settlers. Use it to add more immersion when playing the game through your character's point of view.
Avenging Other Players
Watch out for in-game announcements, wherein a player from another world got slain by an enemy! If this happens, you’ll then be given the power to avenge their death and get rewards once you’ve successfully eliminated the enemy NPC that killed them.
The addition of an Auction feature to the Social Trading System
Within the Social Trading System, players can interact with and put up their own items up for auction.
