July 9th, 2024 – Majic Jungle is excited to reveal that the highly-anticipated Multiplayer Update for prehistoric city builder 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!”
Key Features:
Build Big Together: Every player gets their own tribe in multiplayer. Working together allows you to build major trading hubs, hospitals, and other large-scale builds that would be impossible to build alone.
No More Borders: With the launch of the Multiplayer Update the map has expanded to cover the whole world, allowing for completely free exploration on a global scale.
Complex Interactions: NPC tribes are now controlled by AI and act independently. Moving near other tribes gives access to trading and new resources. Tribes also specialize in one of four industries: Rock tools, bread, pottery, and bronze.
Meaningful Progress: Other tribes adapt to their surroundings, mining raw resources and crafting goods for trade. Players can also grow their standing in other tribes for even more benefits in trading. Just be careful stealing from neighboring tribes – you might not like the consequences!
More Sapiens to Love: With the expanded map, there are more Sapiens to interact with than ever before, opening a world of new possibilities. The map has also been streamlined for easier navigation, More than one sapien can be assigned to each research task so they take less time, and multiple tribes can be played in one server.
Storage on Wheels (Before the Wheel): Sleds and Covered Sleds have been added, allowing players to move items more efficiently over long distances. Players can also use the newly refined system to streamline trading.
