CyancookGames has presented 2D concept art and 3D gameplay trailers for Of Peaks and Tides, a survival sandbox adventure inspired by ancient Eastern mythology, scheduled to launch in 2026 via Steam. Built with Unreal Engine 5, the experience invites players to explore a breathtaking mythological world, filled with fantasy, intuitive physics, and endless creative possibilities. As a member of the Nolands, players must navigate the Everland, either alone or with companions, interacting with adorable creatures in a fractured yet harmonious realm.

The journey involves cleansing devastating calamities brought by the gods, facing colossal monsters in ARPG combat, or creatively using natural disasters such as floods, sandstorms, and blizzards. These phenomena can become strategic allies, whether by trapping beasts in flooded valleys or harnessing native plant growth to pin them down.

Beyond survival, players are encouraged to build custom bases, which can rise along mountainsides or even atop tamed animals. Freedom extends to the skies as well, allowing players to mount giant winged creatures and soar across the land in search of valuable resources to forge powerful weapons and tools. Alongside the maiden Elle, the greater goal is to restore the lost glory of the human tribes.

The developers emphasize their commitment to blending immersion and interactivity within a fantasy setting. "Our talented and experienced team has crafted an incredibly immersive and interactive experience with an aesthetic fantasy setting," said Chenchao Lin, Chief Technology Officer at CyancookGames.

According to him, player choice is a fundamental part of the journey. "Move through the world making fun, creative, and unconventional choices made possible by our custom-built design editor within Unreal Engine 5."
