Direland

Direland is in development at KAIJIUUUUU for PC via Steam, with a release date still unannounced and wishlisting live. A trailer released in October 2026 shows gameplay footage including character creation and fights against giant creatures.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 11

KAIJIUUUUU announced Direland in August 2026 as a sandbox survival crafting game for PC via Steam. Players wake up with amnesia in a distant land, gather materials, craft, farm, and build while facing giant monsters whose attacks can reshape terrain. The release date is unannounced. Wishlisting is live on Steam.

Two months later, a trailer put the base-destruction premise on screen. It shows character creation, exploration and development of a voxel world, and fights against giant creatures several times the player's size. Players place buildings, farms, and barricades from collected materials, and those bases come under attack. The trailer focuses on gameplay.

Across both stories, the combat is what sets Direland apart from other voxel survival crafting games on Steam: giant creatures attack player-built bases, and their attacks can alter the terrain. The developer has said it is expanding the game with new combat features. Everything else about the release remains unsettled, with no date set.
