The latter is developed by the same and launching in 2026.

Much like its predecessors, My Time at Sandrock will feature plenty of traders that not only give you a medium of selling or purchasing goods, but you can also interact with them to get to know more about the world. The trailer showcases different merchants related to building, food, science, and much more.

In addition to this, we also got a brief look at the side activities on offer which range from card games to friendly fencing to slide races and much more. The developer also stated that seasonal events will add even more content to the experience, which should make My Time at Sandrock a game that’s worth sinking your teeth into.

Players start out by creating a custom character with their choice of skin, hair, and styles to better express themselves in this world. The gameplay revolves around building the town with new structures and upgrading existing structures through the use of building tools and different resources. The trailer showcases the player character exploring caves and deserts in search of these resources, and there will be times when you will have to fight different creatures to get a hold of something valuable.

Apart from looting and constructing structures, building meaningful relationships will also be an integral part of the gameplay loop. You can engage in different conversations, gift stuff, and play mini-games with your in-game companions to build these relationships. My Time at Sandrock releases for all major console platforms and PC on November 2, 2023.
