Manchester, UK – 10th May 2023 – Today Merge Games are excited to open the doors to ‘Giant’s Fall Chapel & Crypt in the first of many content updates coming for Early Access multiplayer survival hit Smalland: Survive the Wilds! The new update will open up the next chapter of the story, introducing two new NPCs, along with the new areas of the map, a deadly new enemy, a powerful sword and armour set, metal building materials and more.

Following years of player anticipation, the game hit a peak of over 52k daily players in launch week, and has delivered over 1.5 million hours of viewing for Twitch streamers, inspiring hundreds of YouTube videos along the way.
