FAQ

📌What is SAND?

SAND is a vast, open-world PVPVE game where you explore the fallen planet of Sophie. Build gigantic Tramplers to conquer this hostile environment, filled with mystical anomalies, monuments, and other players. Find out what happened in this fallen world, once ruled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

📌When will the full game be released?

We have not yet finalized a date for release, but as soon as this has been decided, we will announce it on all of the relevant channels.

📌What is the maximum size of a team?

Max size is 6, but for such a team, you should have enough crew rooms on your Trampler.

📌How many players per server?

We are running intensive tests to ensure an optimal experience. As such, we will share the max players per server closer to the start of Beta.

📌The name of the genre has "extraction". Does this mean that matches have a time limit?

No. Despite the fact that we taken a lot of cues from some of our favourite "extraction shooters", we do not limit players in how much time they can spend on the expedition on the surface. The players themselves decide when to finish and return to the extraction point to protect what they were able to find.

📌Will it be possible to ally with other crews?

Our design is based on ensuring that the game revolves around the struggles, successes, and experiences of individual Crews and not larger factions, which matchmaking will, of course, contribute towards. We are doing everything we can to ensure that the game does not devolve into battles of large groups/factions of regular players against beginners and solos.

📌Will the game be free?

No, SAND will be a paid game, with the pricing to be announced at a later date.

📌Will it be possible to play solo?

Absolutely. We have designed and balanced the game specifically to ensure that players can enjoy it solo or alongside their friends.

📌Will it be possible to create private servers?

There are no plans for private servers at this time, however we are open to the idea, should we see enough demand from players.

📌Will other languages be supported?

We are in the process of deciding the supported languages for launch and of course following that, if there is enough demand we are open to adding more on a case by case basis.

📌Will it be released for consoles?

We are focusing on the Windows version for the time being, but we hope to allow as many players as possible to enjoy the game, regardless of platform, so we’re not ruling anything out.

📌Is PVP the focus of the game? If so, is there a PVE mode?

Sand has been envisioned and designed specifically as a PvPvE game from its conception. Its systems, gameplay, game loop, and direction are built around a combination of player-to-player/player versus player-interactions and PvE experiences. There is no single-player/PvE planned for SAND because, fundamentally, that is not the game we set out to make, nor would it suit the design of or our vision of the game.
