What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We have a great game and you have great ideas - Early Access is the best way to bring those together. The community played a huge role in shaping Stranded Deep 1 into the game it is today, and we couldn't have done it without you. We want to do it again and give you the opportunity to shape what Stranded Deep 2 becomes, helping it grow to its full potential.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate two to three years. To achieve our goals, we've assembled an awesome team that's much larger this time around.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The game is designed to grow. During Early Access, expect regular updates that add new locations, biomes, wildlife, and map editor content alongside deeper crafting, progression, and co-op. The full 1.0 release will bring this all together into a complete experience. We'll share a public roadmap soon so you can see what's planned and follow our progress.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Stranded Deep 2 launches into Early Access as a fully playable survival experience. You can explore the river by kayak or raft, manage your health, hunger, thirst, and exposure, while discovering hand-crafted locations across several biomes. The core systems are in place, but expect some rough edges and features that are still being tuned as we build out the full game.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, the price will increase after Early Access to reflect the additional content added.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Early Access is a journey and we'd love for you to join us. Along the way, we'll be keeping you up-to-date with regular dev blogs, updates, and a living roadmap so you can see decisions being made in the open.

We've created community spaces across all the major platforms, so wherever you are, you can get involved and share your thoughts. Our dedicated community team will be on the ground, collecting your ideas and feedback so you can be confident it's being heard.

Right from the beginning, the community helped us shape Stranded Deep 1 into a game people still enjoy today. We're excited to share this new journey with you and look forward to hearing your experiences throughout the development of Stranded Deep 2.”

About This Game

Stranded Deep 2 is the next installment in the series, plunging you into a beautiful but dangerous desert wilderness. Stranded. Alone. No rescue is coming. An endless river carves through a world bursting with life, danger, and discovery. The desert doesn't care if you survive. You must earn the right to be here. And you will. Every tool, every discovery, every step further into the frontier is the result of surviving long enough and venturing far enough to reach it. As you explore deeper you realize there’s more to the desert than simply surviving.

Explore an Endless River World

The river carves through canyons, dunes, and valleys, connecting a vast desert landscape filled with hand-crafted locations. Navigate rapids and treacherous waters with your kayak or raft. Every world is different. No two journeys are the same.

Build a Home, Take It With You

Scavenge resources, craft tools, and build a floating home on the river. Pack up and move to the next stretch or settle on the banks. Everything you build can come with you.

Stay Alive!

Nature is the enemy. Manage your health, hunger, thirst, and exposure to survive another day. Danger is recognizable if you know what to look for. A distant growl, tracks in the sand, fast moving water. Pay attention and you'll stay alive.

Leave Your Mark In a Living World

Animals roam, hunt, and follow a real food chain. You're part of it, and you're not at the top. Dig into the terrain to reshape the landscape or redirect the river. The world reacts to what you do.

Make It Yours

Everything you make is shaped by the resources you find. Choose the materials to use for each part of your tools. Build your structures the same way. Upgrade and customize your gear as you discover better materials.  

Create Your Own World

The revamped Cartographer editor lets you create your own locations and experiences to add to your world, and share with friends on any platform.

Stranded Deep 2 is built on a decade of community feedback and is designed to grow. Regular content updates will add new biomes, locations, wildlife, and crafting to create a world that gets richer over time, giving you more reasons to explore. We're excited to share this new journey with you and look forward to hearing your experiences throughout the development of Stranded Deep 2.

How far will you go?
