Build your shelter, craft weapons and tools, cultivate food, and explore the island alone or together with friends. Four unique characters are available, each ready to face the struggle for survival.

Team up in multiplayer to share resources and defend your base, or test your skills solo. Drive vehicles, hunt, complete quests, and shape your own path in a world that never forgives mistakes.

- Single-player and multiplayer survival

- Base building and crafting

- Dynamic weather and day/night cycle
