Developed by JanduSoft, Eric Rodríguez, and published by JanduSoft, Farlands is the latest sandbox farming sim that comes with a whole new twist. In most farm-sim games, you get to explore an area where farming, exploration, and relationship-building can be done. But in Farlands, the developers have taken this concept to a whole new level, giving you an entire planet to own (with a mystery behind it, of course). By ditching the stressful life, you get to own a planet and carve a beautiful homestead out of it in-game. But that’s not all. There’s more. You can explore other planets in the solar system on your spaceship to gather resources along with your buddy Droid. Cutting weed and clearing fields are the daily chores and you also get to interact with various NPCs from different planets. All these sound interesting, right? Well, wouldn’t the experience be more interesting if you could enjoy the game with your friends? Although Farlands has been released as a single-player game, the demand for a multiplayer mode from players has led to many believing that a multiplayer mode is on the way. But is this true? If yes, when will it be released? All details regarding the same are shared here.
The gameplay of Farlands is an easy-going and relaxed farming simulator game. Currently released as an early access game, there is still room for improvement in the gameplay aspect. But the good thing is that the developers have shared a roadmap to let players know what they are going to introduce in-game during this early access phase. The roadmap showcases a bunch of updates that will be released in-game along with some quality-of-life changes before the v1.0 version goes live. But nowhere was there a mention of a multiplayer mode. So, what does this mean?
Farlands Multiplayer Mode: Will it be available
Although we hate to be the bearers of bad news, the reality, as it stands currently, is that Farlands will not receive a multiplayer mode anytime soon. How are we so sure? Well, after the game’s release, a player shared a query on the game’s Steam discussion forum, looking for a response from the developers regarding the inclusion of a multiplayer mode in-game. In response to this query, developer Eric Rodríguez stated the following:
No está previsto, Farlands es un juego diseñado y pensado para ser single player. Lo lamento.
This translates to: “It is not planned, Farlands is a game designed and intended to be single-player. I’m sorry.” From this statement, it is pretty clear that Farlands is meant to be a single-player game and will remain so. But we still have hope that if the demand for a multiplayer mode with both PVP and PVE elements, rises with time, the developers will give it some thought. It is a fact that multiplayer games have been getting more attention than single-player titles, so if it seems feasible, the developers might include a multiplayer mode in Farlands. If they do decide to include it, it will be after the game’s full release, and not during the early access phase. Although the chances of this happening are very low, we still have hope. Anyway, do note that the information provided here is based on speculation from our side, which is why you should take it with a pinch of salt.
That said, this is everything you need to know about whether a multiplayer mode will be released in Farlands. If you find this article informative, consider visiting Android Gram for more such interesting content on all things gaming.
