The Xsyon landscape is shaped and molded by players. Over the years many unsightly mounds and ruins of abandoned sites have built up across the land. The terrain reversion update gradually restores this neglected land to its original state. Felled tree stumps and logs that have littered the landscape also decay over time. For new players, this provides expansive areas of pristine terrain to start new homesteads, villages and monuments. For current players this facilitates travel and trade and prepares areas for expansion and migration. Terrain reversion will be a continuous process as abandoned lands will constantly decay, making way for new inhabitants of Xsyon.

Xsyon players can plant and raise a variety of different crops, watering, tending and fertilizing them to obtain bountiful harvests. Xsyon’s innovative cooking system allows players to combine the ingredients and seasonings of their choice to create their own recipes. Players must match ingredient types and flavors to produce dishes that provide buffs and bonuses. Players can save their recipes in a cookbook and create special signature dishes. This also ramps up the survival aspect of the game as players now forage, fish, build fires and cook to survive and thrive in this apocalyptic new world!

Notorious Games released Xsyon : Prelude as an Early Access title on Steam, allowing the development team better interaction with the player base to collect feedback and bug reports while furthering the progression of the game.

Currently Xsyon’s developers are working closely with players to balance and enhance its creature and combat systems. The game features unique systems including creature aging, breeding, increasing power through combat, looting players and migration. These systems are being revisited. Creature AI and path finding are being improved and taming with mounts and pets are currently in the works!

For players with existing Xsyon Citizen accounts, you can request a Steam Key to run Xsyon from Steam at no additional cost.
