Maximum Entertainment and Merge Games have confirmed a release date for Smalland: Survive the Wilds on Nintendo Switch 2.
The open-world survival adventure game shrinks you down into the breathtaking and perilous realm of the Smallfolk, a tiny civilisation surviving beneath towering blades of grass and among swarms of colossal insects.
What would be ordinary in our world becomes an epic landscape to explore, from sprawling roots to cavernous petals. To endure this oversized wilderness, you must craft tools, build shelters, tame powerful creatures, and battle the elements as you fight for a foothold in nature’s vast ecosystem.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Scale skyscraper-sized trees, scramble through cavernous cracks in roads, and more as you experience the unique biomes of Smalland’s huge open world.
- Craft powerful armour sets to personalise your appearance, grant you resistance from the elements, abilities and more
- Tame and ride wild creatures from Geckos to Scorpions, the world and its inhabitants are yours to conquer
- Scavenge, refine and craft resources to build your encampment on the ground or in the canopy
- Claim a Great Tree to design and build a base that will follow you to any world
- Uncover ancient lore from hidden NPCs scattered throughout the world as you learn to survive in this hostile wilderness.
- Play solo or with up to 9 additional friends in multiplayer.
- The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Smalland: Survive the Wilds will include all post-launch updates already available on other platforms, featuring guilds, stables, The Underlands, and much more.
Smalland: Survive The Wilds will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 14 May 2026.
