Size matters and big things are expected from Merge Games’ sandbox survival game, Smalland.

Merge Games’ Smalland has its latest trailer premiered at the Future Games Show yesterday with the new footage revealing even more of the game’s content. Spotlighting the game’s environment, highlights include a magnificent city built in the bows of an old oak tree and a predatory giant-sized lizard.

The trailer also features an announcement for a demo coming on PC in October so players will be able to experience the game for themselves.

Smalland is an open-world, survival, online multiplayer, adventure game set in a familiar environment in which players have been shrunk down to the size of a tiny insect. Starting their journey at the bottom of the food chain players must survive by foraging for resources, crafting, and exploring seemingly abandoned locations now reclaimed by nature. As players progress, they will be able to be to create powerful armor, weapons and even be able to tame critters into mounts allowing them to take on even greater challenges. Collaborating with other players, the ultimate goal is to take down the world’s largest and fearsome creatures.

Smalland can be played solo against the environment or with other players. During their travels, players will also learn of the varied factions that inhabit the lands, with each faction taking influence from certain creatures such as ants or bees.
