Your story begins stranded in the unforgiving wilderness of the Wild West. Your one goal: to survive. Endure scorching days and freezing nights as you battle hunger, thirst, and the elements. Forage for food, hunt wildlife, and fish to stay alive. Scavenge the land to gather vital resources and craft the tools and weapons you’ll need to stand a chance in this brutal but breathtaking frontier. Can you master the elements and withstand blistering heat, violent rainstorms and freezing cold wi...
The year is 1842. Behind you, the life you knew. Ahead, the western frontier - miles of open sky, untouched valleys and adventure. Out here, the land is rich, the rivers run clean, and what you make of it is yours to keep. All you need is the frontier ahead, friends beside you, and the will to build a new life from the ground up.
The Wild West won't make it easy. But you didn't come out here for easy.
Red Rust Pioneers brings together the deep survival crafting and base building of Valheim and The Forest with the rugged beauty of Red Dead Redemption 2, set on a living, breathing western frontier.
BUILD & SETTLE
You didn't come west just to survive.
You came to build something. A canvas tent becomes a cabin. A cabin becomes a homestead. A homestead becomes a ranch. With your own two hands and the hands of your companions, you'll build a new life in the wide open wilderness of Red Rust Valley, one timber frame and campfire at a time.
The frontier is free and it's waiting. What you make of it is up to you.
EXPLORE & ADVENTURE
The wilderness beyond your door is yours to explore.
Your homestead is your anchor. When you're ready, load your wagon, break camp, and ride out into the wilderness. New country reveals fresh resources, hidden valleys and breathtaking vistas you'll want to share with your companions. And when your saddlebags are full and the sun is dropping, there's nothing quite like the ride home, wagon loaded, ready to build something new.
Every expedition brings something back to make your homestead a little stronger, a little larger, a little more your own.
LIVE OFF THE LAND
But first, you have to survive it.
The Wild West doesn't care about your plans. Battle hunger, thirst, and the unforgiving elements as you forage, hunt, and fish to stay alive. Farm and harvest crops to build a self-sufficient camp. Venture into the mountains for the resources that'll give you an edge.
Master the seasons. Scorching summers, violent rainstorms and freezing winters stand between you and the life you're building. Respect the frontier, and it will reward you. Defy it, and the west has a long memory.
GOOD COMPANY
The trail is better with friends beside you.
Invite up to three friends into your world - split the work and share the adventure. Ride out into the wilderness, set up camp beneath the stars, and build a homestead and new life together. Red Rust Pioneers is built from the ground up for co-operative play, and the frontier is a better place for it.
The frontier is waiting. Your story starts here.
