As of 1:00 p.m. EDT today, Steam users are able to snap up Wurm Online on the platform. As in the full sandbox title and its playerbase, not the standalone side-game Wurm Unlimited.
The game offers what it’s calling “ultimate freedom” that seeks to “hold true to the original sandbox vision.” Players can hop into either PvP or PvE servers and experience a world that players can mold to their liking, taking up various trades, building towns and roads, and working towards lofty pursuits like conquering other player kingdoms in PvP, becoming a realm-famous trader, a hunter of dangerous beasts, or a priest of one of four deities with the ability to enchant player equipment; most of these features were put on display in the launch trailer last week.
Speaking of that trailer, YouTuber and Twitch streamer Andrea “KatsPurr” Fryer was the person behind putting that together; readers will likely recall her as the artist who was rebuilding Ultima Online in Wurm. For those who are curious about how KatsPurr put that trailer together, she’s posted a five hour-long video that takes viewers through every step of the process. That’s embedded below if you’re curious.
