About this game
Welcome to the world of Nytland, brimming with potential. Build your dream fantasy kingdom as you shape the land, raise quaint villages into a network of interconnected bustling cities, and breathe life into a vast continent that forms to your vision. Will your royal legacy be one of whimsy, wealth, wanderlust, or war? The story of your Raevins is yours to write, my liege!
Build your way, with gridless placement and modular building attachments that let you customize your kingdom’s look and function. Create a network of cities across the world map and jump between them. Trade, specialize, and explore - each city plays a vital role in your expanding kingdom. Unlock tech, appoint governors, specialize regions, and prepare for kingdom-wide management.
Send out expeditions to uncover ruins, resources, and secrets across the world - adding depth and lore to your growing empire. Discover an entire continent with its history and peoples. Venture ahead into the unknown for a quest to greatness. Find rare resources that will be essential to your rise to power.
Build a vibrant realm inhabited by Raevins - adorable, dream-filled citizens with unique traits, skills, and life paths. Raevins level up through a structured career system, unlocking elite professions that require better housing and city services. Help them find their calling nurturing their individual interests. Watch them progress from simple peasant militia to heroes of the realm fit to fight a dragon!
From farming to metallurgy, RAEV features rich crafting systems. Unlock advanced recipes through research, technology, and exploration. Leverage rare resources to construct key structures. Secure a decisive advantage over neighboring kingdoms through technological superiority.
Threats can come any time knocking at the city gates - train elite units, fortify your towns, and choose your difficulty to balance between serenity and survival. Prepare for ambushes, roaming bandits, and dangerous creatures that threaten your trade routes and frontier towns. Tactical defenses and armed caravans will be vital in protecting your growing realm.
Recruit heroic adventurers, send them on to explore ancient tombs, derelict castles or haunted forests. Danger lurks in the dungeons, but there’s treasure to be found and powerful bosses to be vanquished from the land for the peace of every city in its vicinity.
Each region features its own combination of climate, resources and challenges. Weather can affect food growth and heating needs, pushing you to adapt and plan.

A new Dawn...
We have been silent for a while, we know you’re eager and we thank you all for your patience while waiting to hear news about the game.Let's do a quick recap of where we are, what we are doing and plans for the future, and some context on what happened so far:A few months ago we made the decision to part ways with our publisher, a wonderful group of people who we have shared a great experience with. The separation left us having to revise the original plans for RAEV and the team, but we’re really excited about where we’re now at. Kai can understand the feel…Most importantly, we are still working on RAEV and have secured the funding we need to complete and launch the game. The change gave us an opportunity to revisit our timeline and, with that security in place, spend a little longer working on the launch version than originally planned so we can make it the best version it can be.The Raevins too have been hard at work, building new fortifications and towering spiresIn order to ensure we are launching this version that we know you’ll love, we had to make a tough but necessary choice to push back the release of RAEV back to early 2027, so we get the most out of what we're developing. What does this mean for everyone in our community? That you'll have to wait a bit longer for the EA release BUT we'll be having a few more closed beta sessions in the future, with the next one starting November 2nd and ending November 9th, so you can help shape the game even further than you've already doneWe want to wrap up this recap by reassuring everyone that the development is still going strong, we're currently finishing up the world and adventuring and we're gearing up to revamp the economy / trade and diplomacy in the next months, the amount of stuff to do in the game exploded AND we have developed some insane new tools to bring even more content in the game over time. So while we have been dealing with a few unexpected challenges, development has not stoppedHere see some of the ...Read full article on Community Announcements (steampartner)AnnouncementsOfficial
