invites players to protect and guide a small band of settlers to forge a town at the edge of the known world.

From harvesting raw materials to hunting, fishing and farming to survive, building a thriving homestead will be fraught with challenge. Players will need to produce crafted items to trade, consume, equip and fight as you battle for survival against the elements and outside threats.

With a vast array of materials and crops to harvest, dozens of unique buildings to expand your town with and a deep farming system - right down to soil fertility and seasonal rotations - the depth of Farthest Frontier is vast. Whether you choose to play on pacifist and avoid combat altogether or engage with varying levels of raider difficulty to raise the stakes for your town’s survival, enemies you'll face aren't always from raiders and foreign armies seeking plunder.

Ensuring your villagers have clean water to stop outbreaks of dysentery and cholera while making sure they are properly clothed to reduce chances of contracting tetanus, rabies or frostbite is key to survival. Failure to manage their needs and secure food properly will see disease creep into your settlement.

Offering beautiful fully customizable maps with randomized terrain generation and resource distribution, players are free to control the amount of water or mountains they desire for extreme maps, leading to unique challenges.

Farthest Frontier has shared a roadmap leading up to its full release.

Since launching into Steam Early Access, the game has sold over 1 million copies, amassed over 1.5 million wishlists, and garnered thousands of Very Positive reviews on Steam. This roadmap outlines the exciting major features players can expect on the path to its 1.0 launch. During the Steam Summer Sale, there will be a 20% discount on Farthest Frontier, so there’s never been a better time to jump into the game before it heads out of Early Access.

Following a 3 year Early Access period, Farthest Frontier will officially launch into 1.0. on October 23, 2025, having grown far beyond its already solid foundation into a definitive new contender in the medieval city builder genre. 

The Early Access price ($29.99) will be discounted during the Steam Autumn sale, which begins on September 29th, for those who wish to get it at a lower price before launch.

During Early Access, Farthest Frontier received 16 major updates, over 1.2 million copies sold, and over 1.6 million wishlists. The v1.0 release of Farthest Frontier offers the most comprehensive farming and town management sim available, spearheaded by a plethora of new additions and sharpened mechanics:

• Revamped progression with new 142-point Tech Tree, giving players more freedom
• Dozens of new buildings
• Bridges
• New Policy System 
• Updated animations
• And more!

“Farthest Frontier started out as sort of a self-indulgent passion project, to take a break from ARPGs and make the kind of town-builder game I’d dreamed of making in college, when I was playing games like Settlers 2, Caesar 3 and Ultimate Domain. When we started development I was not sure how much demand there was for town-builders anymore, but Banished came out of nowhere and proved there was still a good-sized audience for the right kind of game. Farthest Frontier contains a lot of the depth and ideas I’d always wanted to see in the genre, like more robust farming and an intricate, fully-simulated economy where villagers are actually carrying resources and items back and forth. It’s been a huge challenge, especially since we’ve never had more than 8 people on it at a time but Farthest Frontier turned out bigger and better than I had imagined and I am incredibly proud of the team and what we’ve built,” said CEO & Creative Director Arthur Bruno.
