<p>American game publisher <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/tinybuild/">tinyBuild</a> announced the development of its newest title, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/sand/">SAND</a>. Indie studios <a href="https://whatoplay.com/content-rating/">Hologryph</a> and TowerHaus are developing SAND, a game that blends <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/open-world/" title="Best pc open world games">open-world</a> and sandbox elements. The game also features a FPS-driven campaign that can be played in <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/single-player/">single-player</a> or co-op modes, according to tinyBuild.</p>

<p>SAND will be available for PC and next-gen consoles. According to tinyBuild's press release, it will be released this Fall. A launching date, however, has yet to be unveiled.</p>

<p>tinyBuild has also released a trailer showing a three-minute preview of SAND. The <a href="https://whatoplay.com/upcoming/" title="List of upcoming games">upcoming game</a>'s main story takes inspiration from history and science fiction. Players find themselves on a fictional planet called Sophie. In an alternative universe, sometime in 1910, the Austro-Hungarian Empire managed to conquer Sophie.</p>

<p>However, a cataclysmic event rendered it uninhabitable. In turn, players needed to scavenge for resources to survive. They control characters originating from Galicia, a region from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, who took the opportunity to claim the abandoned territories.</p>

<p>While an open-world game, players also experience sandbox elements in SAND. They will be exploring Sophie in a moving steampunk machine called the Trampler.</p>

<p>The Trampler is not just their mode of transportation. It is their home in Sophie, the creators said. Players can store treasures, customize, expand, and even weaponize their Trampler.</p>

<p><q>The Trampler serves as the player's main base, both as a means of exploration and loot storage. Players are able to customize their tramplers - from interior design, to upgrading its power, armor, and weapons,</q> they said.</p>

<p>SAND also allows players to enter into a “competitive PvP combat,” tinyBuild added.</p>

<p><q>[They can] pile on extra plating and broadside cannons [on Tramplers] so [players] can clash with rival crews. There may not be much water here, but the spirit of piracy still thrives!</q> they said. </p>
