After five years of silence, former Overwatch head Jeff Kaplan is back with his new open-world shooter, *The Legend of California*.
In this massive action-survival shooter, you’ll explore a procedurally generated Wild West open world set during the Gold Rush, either alone or in co-op with up to three friends. Your tasks are reminiscent of genre giants like Rust or Valheim, as you must gather resources in the wilderness, build your own farms, and defend your territory in optional PvP battles.

The Early Access launch on Steam is still scheduled for 2026, but you can check out the store page right now to sign up for an initial alpha playtest.
