Radical Forge, co-developer of titles including Gang Beasts and Sea of Thieves, has announced sandbox farming game Southfield for PC (Steam). A demo will be available during Steam Next Fest in February.
“Southfield is the culmination of a huge amount of imagination, trial and error, and sheer hard work by the Radical Forge team,” said Radical Forge CEO and game director Bruce Slater in a press release. “We wanted to create an ambitious, silly farming game with ridiculous characters in a fantastical world.”
Slater continued, “Most of all, we wanted to build an island that generates fun’. And now we can get it into Early Access and see what you think. For me, this is where the game will take on a new life, and the players will take it in directions we can’t even imagine.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Radical Forge:
