Story

In an alternate history version of 1910, humanity had made significant advancements in space exploration thanks to the discovery of new energy sources. The Austro-Hungarian Empire led the way in conquering other planets, but a mysterious ecological disaster struck planet Sophie, forcing its settlers to hastily leave behind a once-resource-rich world. Motivated by desperation, the bravest and most impoverished individuals from the empire now journey to planet Sophie, seeking to test their fate, uncover hidden riches in the barren wastelands, and profoundly change their lives.

What is happening now

Sand: Raiders of Sophie is an adventure title launched in June 2026 across current-generation consoles and PC. The game tasks players with navigating hostile environments while managing their standing among other characters and factions. Since release, the developers have continued refining the core experience through updates. The latest patch introduces a Threat mechanic, which affects how other characters perceive and react to the player's actions. This system appears designed to give players more agency in shaping their reputation, allowing them to establish themselves as dangerous or formidable within the game world.
