Publisher Maximum Entertainment announced they’ve picked up publishing duties for indie dev Brimstone’s ambitious sandbox game, Overthrown.

Overthrown is launching first via Early Access via Steam / Game Preview on Xbox Series X|S sometime this fall, followed by a full release on PC (Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PS5.

“We are thrilled to partner with Maximum Entertainment to see Overthrown reach audiences who love original and unique sandbox games,” said Rasmus Hofréus, co-founder and CEO of Brimstone. “The Maximum team has a wealth of experience publishing nontraditional indie games, and we are excited to see what we can accomplish together.”

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:

Lift and throw anything as you build and manage your kingdom in this chaotic city builder for 1-6 players. Harness the power of your soul-stealing crown to defend your citizens from bandits and mutants, farm the land, and gather resources. Keep citizens happy or see them desert you!

You play as a Monarch in possession of an ancient soul-stealing crown with magical abilities. With its power, establish a kingdom in a perilous wilderness and defend it from mutants and bandits roaming the land.

Build, gather resources, farm the land and more to turn your fledgling realm into a commanding, self-sustaining kingdom. As your fame grows, more will flock to your banner – but so will those who have come to overthrow you, including your friends in up to six-player co-op.

Features

• BUILD ANYWHERE – Construct a kingdom from scratch and transform the wilderness into a developed community. Decide which buildings go where, and then manage your citizens to automate everything from there! Don’t like where you placed something? Just pick it up and toss it somewhere else!
• LIFT ANYTHING – Throw whole trees at the sawmill to make planks or run through the forest carrying your sawmill to absorb trees along the way! Resource gathering is fun and easy thanks to your crown’s power. Or maybe you have too many enemies around. Pick up monster nests and place them near bandit camps to have them fight each other instead (and obtain free loot!).
• FIGHT LIKE AN ANIME PROTAGONIST – Villagers being eaten by mutants? Run across a lake at 100 km/h to rescue them in time! Being shot at by outlaws up in the hills? Spin-attack so fast that you take off like a helicopter and descend on them from the skies!
• SURVIVE THE SEASONS – Manage resources and stockpile enough food to last the winter. Guard your farmlands (and peasants) from hungry mutants while waiting for your crops to grow. Keep polluting workshops away or see the land turn barren. Ultimately, keep your people happy or see them desert you for the outlaws.
• PLAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS – Overthrown can be played offline in singleplayer, or with a group of up to six friends in online co-op! However – only one can wear the crown.
