Release Date: October 23, 2025
An expansive RTS developed by Crate Entertainment- the creators of bestselling Grim Dawn. Farthest Frontier tasks us with developing a settlement from a small wooden village to a thriving city.
Farthest Frontier is a complex RTS with an extensive economic layer, set in a world inspired by the European Middle Ages. It was developed by indie studio Crate Entertainment, also responsible for a bestselling hack'n'slash Grim Dawn.
Farthest Frontier has us play as the leaders of a settlement on the edge of the known world. Our goal is to develop this small wooden village into a thriving city.
There are many duties we must fulfill throughout the game. One of the most important is resource gathering, as we need resources to construct buildings. There are more than fifty different facilities to build, ranging from houses, public buildings, workshops (that can produce over sixty unique items, warehouses, to defense buildings such as barracks to recruit soldiers at (though we must also properly equip them), watchtowers and palisades (later on replaced by stone walls). Walls are important, as soon enough our settlement may come under attack from enemies and looters. Additionally, production buildings can be upgraded, increasing their capabilities.
Acquiring food is also important. We'll produce it mainly via farming (though hunting and fishing are also worth your attention). We must decide which crops to grow in each field while remembering about crop rotation to keep the soil usable. Once we've met our people's needs we can start selling surplus goods. Different regions are willing to pay different prices for specific items.
Even if we don't make any mistakes, our town can still suffer due to external factors. Heat and frost (and hungry deer) can destroy even the most well-tended crops, bears threaten our people and our food reserves, while cutting down too many trees can cause the land to dry up. As if that weren't enough, we must also worry about diseases. Lack of clean water may lead to dysentery and cholera outbreaks, lack of proper clothing and footwear to tetanus and rabies, while not keeping rats in check (which grow in numbers due to waste on the streets and not securing food) can bring black death.
Farthest Frontier features colorful, detailed visuals. The buildings are detailed, the environment is densely vegetated, the seasons and the time of day change gradually as well.

Game Ratings for Farthest Frontier Video Game.
PC Gamer: 85 / 100 by Christopher Livingston
Farthest Frontier has a lot of what I look for in a survival city builder: intricate production and farming systems, tough challenges balanced with chill moments, and plenty of customization (you can turn off bandit raids, hostile wildlife, and even diseases if you want a more peaceful experience). There's also enough variety that each of my cities (I'm on my third now) feels like it has its own distinct storyline and history. I built Bee City and Gold Gulch, and I can't wait to see my new town's identity develop… provided my settlers survive the next bear attack.
GameSpace: 9 / 10 by Alto Vald
Farthest Frontier is a game that can be both relaxing and challenging if the players want it so. The lovers of measured city building gameplay can find it very appealing, as each action is rewarding in both visual and gameplay sides. However, for a strategy game it doesn't have enough varieties for military or offensive building, thus hardcore fighters shouldn't judge it harshly. Overall, the game has potential to win over even more players than it already did in Earle Access, taking the place among other famous representatives of the genre. It has a lot to offer and even more potential to grow further.
NoobFeed: 88 / 100 by Mezbah Turzo
Farthest Frontier is great for everyone, whether you've played Banished and Anno before or are just looking for the fantasy Manor Lords alluded to. It's hard, demanding, and often irritating, but it's also generous, engaging, and worth every hour you spend getting your small community through another harsh winter. This city-builder has compassion, unlike so many others.
