Wildlands Interactive and Ultimate Games S.A. will hold a weekend-only playtest for their blacksmith sim Sword & Shield Simulator starting July 10 on Steam. The test includes a rebuilt forging system, modular shield crafting, mining, lockpicking, stealth, and new locations.
The playtest runs on weekends only, beginning July 10. Players take the role of a blacksmith who visits battlefields after the fighting stops, collecting ownerless swords and shields to repair and resell. The test introduces a fully rebuilt forging system, modular shield crafting, mining and resource gathering, lockpicking and stealth mechanics, exploration of new locations, and expanded production and progression systems. The protagonist also helps wounded soldiers from Danburg, though the primary goal is scavenging equipment for materials.
