Some things were made to fit together. Mario and Luigi, Ratchet and Clank, Graymanes and suplexes to name just a few excellent pairings! Now with a brand new playtest available for free, we see a combination of gameplay that seems so perfect it should have been obvious. Gunmen and post-apocalyptic survival.

TRUE: Raiders of Sophie driving one free playtest from June 10, 2026 on Steam, and the early impressions are quite impressive. Set in an alternate 1910s, the game will see you play solo or with friends as you hunt, hunt and survive the wild desert wastelands. However, your gunslinger will trade their horse for a mobile mecha fortress built by your own hands as you traverse the dusty landscapes and mow down your enemies in search of treasure, priceless artifacts and game loot to advance.

However, building your very own tramper is what separates this from your average spaghetti western. Constructed from scraps and stolen loot, this mech-walker can be built from the ground up and serves as your primary method of transportation as well as your home base, storage facility, and a weapon to fend off your enemies. A water fortress of your own design that can protect you from the elements and bandits who want to see you buried in the sand.

The desert map itself TRUE: Raiders of Sophie will be procedurally generated and the game supports PvPvE so you and your friends can take up arms and wreak havoc on other players online as well as enemy AI. Playing solo as a lone gunslinger is also an option visuals offer a mash-up of the old wild west of Red Dead Redemption 2mixed with steam-punk style mechanical monstrosities that strongly remind us of the world of Mad Max.

Designing your own tramper also looks incredibly detailed. At first glance, it looks like the modular design mechanics seen in Starfield to build your ships, but it seems to go even further, offering multiple ways to build out your base, weapon accessories and storage, meaning you can build the crunching metal cowboy monster of your dreams (or nightmares). Since your tramper also serves as your base, means of storage and method of traversal, it’s a must to take the time to design a fortress you feel comfortable with.
