Beginning with a handful of tribe members, you’ll need to evolve your primitive hunters, grow their numbers and lead them in creating a flourishing civilization that spans thousands of years.

Accessible for those new to the genre but offering huge depth for veterans, Sapiens allows players to create a sprawling civilization from the ground up. Assign tribespeople jobs, determine their primary role and see them develop their new settlement as they plant crops, clear paths, gather materials, cook and build. Sapiens can also be assigned to investigation or diplomacy roles to help advance their society.

As the heart and soul of the game, your sapiens are key to expansion. Whether you send them to explore far-off lands to discover fresh resources or task them to build transportation networks, with the right management your tribe's size and their influence can rapidly expand. It will be down to you to manage their mood, build them shelters, keep them happy and preserve their resources. With every aspect of the game and its world interactable, right down to placing every wall, seat or fireplace, you will need to determine how your settlement is built and maintained. 

With a deep technology tree to unlock new abilities that allow sapiens to build tools and improve living conditions, players will also need to pay close attention to map regions. Some bring their own unique challenges, with weather effects and seasons playing a key part in maintaining your tribe, their settlement and its likelihood of survival. 

Solo dev Majic Jungle is excited to reveal that the Multiplayer Steam Early Access Update for Sapiens launches on July 19th, 2024. Team up with friends to construct sprawling cities and manage resources collectively. Explore vast lands larger than Earth itself as you navigate unique landscapes and climates together with your tribe.

Sapiens invites players to forge alliances and reshape their environment for the better. Unite with friends to build anything from towering citadels with fortified bastions to humble grass huts to make you and your tribe feel at home. Discover together and learn how to mold the world around you, which has now expanded to cover the whole globe. Manage the roles of your tribe members and experiment with farming, crafting, and woodworking to build your dream prehistoric civilization.

"I would like to thank our amazing community for providing feedback to make Sapiens a thriving and positive experience where we work together to create something truly special,” said Dave Frampton, creator and developer. “Sapiens is not about destroying, but rather improving upon the foundation laid before us. I look forward to seeing our community grow with the full release of the multiplayer update, and I can’t wait to see what we can build together!”
