The Demo For Historic City-Builder Wild West Pioneers Is Now Available

Build The Wild West City Of Your Dreams

The atmosphere of departure is palpable. The excitement grows. It is time to load the wagons and move into the unknown of the American frontier. Polish development team EmpireCraft Studios and Publisher Toplitz Productions are delighted to announce that the demo for their city-builder Wild West Pioneers is now available. Originally slated to start with the beginning of Steam Next Fest on February 23, 2026, the trek left early, so settlers can start exploring the American West ahead of time.

Become one of the driving forces of the American Dream in the 1800s, when you load your wagons and brave the challenges of an unexplored land. Plan settlements, manage resources and allocate workers, then watch your communities prosper and grow. But with growth come new demands that need to be fulfilled if you don’t want the population numbers to dwindle.

Send scouts to survey new areas, find rare resources or new locations to settle. Manage multiple settlements, appoint officials like the mayor or sheriff to help you on your way and prove that you are the driving force behind America’s Western expansion.

The demo for Wild West Pioneers is available now on Steam.

The game will be released later this year on PC in Early Access. More information on the anticipated city-builder can be found on the Steam product page, where it can be wishlisted already.
