Wild West Open-World Survival Title, Westlanders Have Been Announced With Upcoming Kickstarter Campaign

Publisher Radical Theory have partnership with developer, The Breach Studio to deliver Westlanders, an open-world survival, crafting, building and management game, announced in a launch trailer.

Inspired by the Wild West, the game has players survive the dustbowl of 1800’s North America as they build villages. Utilise resources with a mastery of skills and technology and establish trade routes across a hostile land.

The Breach Studio aims to use their future Kickstarter campaign and Early Access on Steam to help maintain engagement in the community with a comprehensive roadmap ahead of its full release, promising the title can be played in both solo and co-op modes.

CEO of The Breach Studios, Ferran Punti stated the team want to create a game that evolves thanks to those who play it.

“Kickstarter and Early Access will allow us to work hand in hand with motivated, invested, and passionate players,” he said via press release.

“We will carefully listen to this community, which shares our love of rich and satisfying game mechanics, to tune and perfect the experience before the console release.

“That is why choosing to work with Radical Theory as a strategic partner felt natural as they understand and support studios through their experience, deep expertise, and genuine transparency."

The three-part roadmap for Westlanders, starting in early 2026 will have the game gain crowdfunding and support from patrons, before entering Early Access to help with development and community feedback, to have a full release on Xbox, PlayStation 5 and PC.

CEO of Radical Theory, Luc Heninger commented it’s a real pleasure to collaborate with the team at The Breach Studios - developers who are as passionate as they are friendly and talented.

“Westlanders won us over in the first few minutes of gameplay, as the Western setting is still rarely explored in the survival-crafting genre,” he said via press release.

“We have a true sandbox experience here that will allow players from all backgrounds to experiment with rich, deep mechanics.

“The idea is to have a blast with friends, as we want players to dive into building, fighting, and resource management in co-op as quickly as possible."
