Western-themed open-world survival, crafting, building, and management game Westlanders will launch in Early Access for PC via Steam in early 2027, followed by PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series alongside its full launch, newly revealed publisher Team17 and developer The Breach Studios announced.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with The Breach Studios to publish Westlanders,” said Team17 general manager Harley Homewood in a press release. “Their unique take on the survival-crafting genre had us hooked from the get go, and we know players will fall in love with the beautifully hostile world the team has created, just like we have.”
The Breach Studios CEO Ferran Punti added, “We could not be more excited to welcome Team17 to the Wild West, they are the perfect publishing partner to help our open-world dreams become a reality. We also want to say thank you to Radical Theory for all of their support as our marketing partner over the last eight months, Westlanders would not be where it is today without their support.”
