Legacy of the Wilds

Legacy of the Wilds

The world did not end. It simply stopped functioning the way it once had.

It is 2089, and every liter of fuel, every spare part and every person who knows a safe route matters, in an open world where the only thing left to do is survive what remains of it.

What is left

Roads end at broken bridges, and forests have grown over the routes that used to matter, while the cities are still standing even though almost all of them are empty, so the first thing you learn is that nobody is coming to resupply you and that whatever you need from here, you are either making it or taking it.

You start with a bag and nothing in it worth having, which is exactly why the first hours matter as much as they do.

Stay alive

Hunger and thirst come first and they come quickly, with injury and exhaustion following close behind, so you will want to find water and carry it, then find food or hunt it down, and eat before you travel rather than after, because the ground between one safe place and the next is always longer than it looked.

Make what you need

You will not find a knife lying about, but you will find the parts of one, and from there you gather, chop, dig and skin, build a fire and keep it burning, cook what you kill and boil what you draw, then craft tools and the things those tools let you build, with chains that run deep enough that the long ones take real planning.

When the day is over you can raise a shelter and sleep in it, or take a house and make it properly yours.

Then go and look

You can cross the map on foot, by bike or by boat, climbing where the land lets you and following a road until it stops being a road, and even then you will not have seen all of it, since there is more of it than any one person has walked and more every week, because it is still being built.

Other people are out there

Some of them will trade with you, some will teach you what they worked out the hard way, and some will travel with you, which is the difference between a long walk and a short one, and whether you ever fight any of them is your decision, never one made for you, so if you leave it alone then nobody can touch you.

It does not sit still

The game changes constantly, with new map added, systems reworked, and whatever players report fixed, often on the same day they report it, and you do not have to take that on trust, because every change is written down as it ships and the list is right below.

Message of the day

Hey everyone. I've decided to remove the public building option. I know some of you liked it, but this could really turn into something similar to map-building games and that wasn't my intention, but as compensation, staff applications are back again. To apply, you can open the staff list menu, and the last option will be for that. Please, no AI-generated writing! Everything has to be written by you, even if it has mistakes. Thanks everyone. Just wanted to mention that there are time-limited bundles in the credits shop in case you want to take a look around. If you have anyone to invite to the game, go ahead and do it, we'd really appreciate that and help our community grow bigger and bigger. Thanks everyone!

Latest announcement

end of beta announcement 2026-10-09

Hello everyone.
The game is finally out of beta, so things will be smoother from now on, with some very exciting new features on the way.
We recommend always reading the changelog to stay informed about the latest updates, as well as the message of the day.
Lastly, I want to thank everyone for your patience and for taking the time to find and report bugs. Everything has been extremely helpful, as have your suggestions.
If anything isn't working properly, your character lost something during the inventory restoration, etc., please let me know by submitting a ticket.
Lastly, I want to mention that bundles are back, and there is an ultimate predator bundle.
This is just if you want to support the game and get exclusive items which, as the description clearly states, will not give any pay-to-win advantages in the game.
If you want to support us and make things a bit easier, go ahead; but if you don't, you'll still be able to do everything through the game's free features.
Individual items will be added later, regarding the latest bundle added.
Thank you all so much, and happy gaming!
