Overview
- The debut title is being published by Dreamhaven and was revealed via a trailer, a Steam page, and Kaplan’s appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast.
- The game is an open-world, multiplayer action‑survival FPS set on a mythical Island of California during a 19th‑century gold rush.
- Kaplan describes a handcrafted map wrapped in a procedural seed per server, reshuffling difficulty tiers and moving points of interest between playthroughs.
- PvP will be included but the experience is not PvP‑centric, drawing inspiration from Rust’s resetting‑world mechanic without adopting its focus.
- Kintsugiyama counts about 34 developers, including Blizzard veteran Tim Ford, and plans an iterative Early Access release on PC after the alpha.
