Dieselpunk Open-World PvPvE Game SAND Launches Early Access April 3rd

Get ready to explore a post-apocalyptic dieselpunk desert!  Publisher tinyBuild, along with developers Hologryph and TowerHaus, are thrilled to announce that their open-world PvPvE game, SAND, will launch into Early Access on Steam for PC on April 3rd.

SAND transports players to Sophie, a ravaged planet scarred by an ecological catastrophe that dried up its oceans.  Humanity's last hope rests on massive, mobile fortresses known as “Tramplers,” allowing players to navigate and survive the harsh desert landscape.

Players can venture solo or band together to uncover hidden treasures and defend their hard-earned loot against rival factions and environmental hazards.  Previously, a demo offered a glimpse into SAND's unforgiving world and intense gameplay, ranking among the top ten most popular games during last year's Steam Next Fest.  A successful open beta further solidified the game's potential, attracting over 200,000 testers. The Early Access launch marks a significant milestone with numerous improvements and ongoing development planned to continually enrich the world of Sophie.

The Early Access version introduces several exciting features:

• Explore expanded cities and landmarks teeming with new opportunities and valuable loot.

• Face the undead, new NPC factions that roam the cities, adding another layer of challenge to the gameplay.

• Navigate treacherous new environmental hazards, including minefields that demand careful maneuvering.

• Experience a redesigned Trampler control system, providing enhanced handling and responsiveness.

• Personalize your Trampler with expanded customization options featuring new cabins and chassis choices.
