Back in September 2017, we informed you about an open world stealth action game which promises to feature a living hostile environment that evolves over time independently from player actions, called This Land Is My Land. And today, after almost two years since its announcement, Game Labs released a brand new gameplay trailer for it.
In This Land is My Land, players take the role of a Native American fighter. The game takes place in the American Frontier, and the main protagonist will be a member of one the tribes. The game will feature several innovative mechanics that, at least according to the developers, will increase variety and create surprises every play-through.
From what we know so far, the game promises to feature a smart and reactive AI which works cooperatively against player, as well as a map that will be bigger than the one in Skyrim.
It is said that the world will grow differently every time you start the game, meaning that towns and camps will grow differently, patrols will change routes, and enemies behavior will change. Furthermore, the game will offer multiple ways to achieve your objectives.
This Land Is My Land sounds like a really ambitious title so let’s see whether the developers will be able to deliver what they had promised.
Enjoy!

animations dude, yikes.
anyone who says yikes gets helicoptered.
ugh gross, oof, yikes, y’all.
Animations need a LOT of work but this looks like it has potential.
The running animation is apparently a Marketplace Asset. I agree though, the animation are just bad.
“Map bigger than in Skyrim” has got to be the lamest advantage ever. The map in Witcher 3 is bigger than Skyrim so what – it doesn’t really add much when 95% of your locations looks the same thanks to SpeedTree and the game world being completely dead.
yeah that’s the trick, they just load up on Speedtree and it’s a done deal apparently. This open world stuff turns me off more and more everyday, cause open world and big maps are just pure garbage. Quality, is the word that is lacking when it comes to open world.
Well, according to devs – every game should be more or less different because game world will evolve differently. Camps, mines and other things will be in different locations etc. Unlike Witcher 3.
First!
So many ambitious game promise this and that,but many of them failed to deliver…
need more polish..
please dont have a woke story white man bad red man good.
Why woke? Its story from the point of view of Native American. They come to land where you hunt and push you away. So do you expect “we are all bad”? History is not woke.
When Americans committed crimes against American Indians, it was generally Democrats like Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, and James K. Polk behind them.
Below is an excerpt of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s letter to Van Buren pleading for justice for the Cherokee (part of the Five Civilized Nations). Manifest Destiny, the Trail of Tears, and the Mexican-American War all belong to the Democrats.
Blame them.
That could be nice letter, but its still letter of one man. Do you really believe that Republicans and Democrats in 19th century were so differentiated amongst American population (mainly soldiers, hunters, farmers) and “common Republicans” were so innocent and never commited any crime against Indians? That is fairy tale. Sorry.
Anyway I doubt the game will be about politics. Its just about survival of Indian warrior vs (mainly) white Americans (+ hired enemy Indians?). Thanks for your comment.
It’s the letter of one man referencing the millions of Americans opposed to the Democrats’ injustices against the Indians.
And yes, there is a difference between the parties. The Republican Party was created to abolish slavery; it was the Democrats who seceded upon Republican Abraham Lincoln’s election as president, and they generally supported Manifest Destiny.
I checked a bunch of sites and social media accounts by these developers and so far I’m not finding any overt virtue signalling by the devs themselves (I just found a somewhat sjw post about representation from a random user in the game-labs forum, hardly worth noting).
I still don’t know where the company is based in so I couldn’t check for red flags like California or Sweden but their official site has a link to a Russian language version at the top so I’m guessing they’re probably Russian.
Overall, no signs of wokeness thus far.
Native American revenge fantasy, huh. Bit empty when you realize that native americans went completely extinct. A more tasteful trailer would have shown atrocities / successes on both sides. What’s the point of painting the NAs as cold-blooded killers who were proficient at taking down whole groups of settlers armed with guns? It’s neither true nor tasteful so why push this narrative? Truth is, the NAs never stood a chance. They were primitive people and there’s only so much you can accomplish in a battle or war by sneaking around when you’re guaranteed to lose every single open conflict.
native americans went completely extinct […] primitive people and there’s only so much you can accomplish in a battle or war by sneaking around when you’re guaranteed to lose every single open conflict.
American Indians are not extinct. Tribes and individual descendants survive and thrive. (If you’re implying that the Indians were wiped out in warfare, then that’s not true, either; disease against which the natives’ immune systems were completely defenseless wiped out 90% of the total population.)
And it’s not true that the Indians were all primitives doomed to lose in open conflict. The Nez Perce’s skill in warfare drew praise from the American officers whose job it was to capture, subdue, and exile the tribe. General William “Tecumseh” Sherman described the Nez Perce’s retreat this way:
Colonel Nelson A. Miles declared of their last battle that, “The fight was the most fierce of any Indian engagement I have ever been in […]. The whole Nez Perce movement is unequalled in the history of Indian warfare.”
And both Miles and General Oliver O. Howard (to whom Chief Joseph surrendered) argued vigorously for the Nez Perce’s right to return to their ancestral homeland.
