About the Game

The Legend of California is a multiplayer, action-survival FPS set on the Island of California during the gold rush era.

Explore, gather, craft, build, hunt, and fight your way across a vast untamed frontier. Whether you choose to travel alone or work together with friends, your mission on this mythical island is not just to survive, but thrive.

Stay strong, stake your claim, and become the true Legend of California.

  • Discover an expansive, ever-changing open world inspired by the gold rush era that features distinct biomes, challenging PvE encounters, and iconic California landmarks

  • Master FPS combat that rewards precision and skill—whether you’re hunting wildlife to stay alive, taking down hostile encampments for some quick coin, or defending your territory against enemy players in optional PvP

  • Leverage robust gathering and crafting systems to transform the Californian wilderness into everything you need to survive, from weapons for protection and tools for expansion to delicious meals to stay fed and ready

  • Establish and expand your own ranch; build a mine, add stables, and unlock powerful new crafting stations to further customize your slice of the wild

  • Play online on persistent multiplayer servers where you can forge your legacy solo or form a company with up to three other players, sharing resources, buildings, progress, and more
