I haven’t mentioned Code of the Savage in a while, so you can imagine my surprise when I spotted a post from the developer on X yesterday, announcing that the game was available to be wishlisted on Steam:

For those of you who haven’t been following Code of the Savage’s development, the Steam store page offers a quick refresher as to what it’s about:

Code of The Savage is a dark fantasy RPG about vengeance, survival, and carving your own path through a brutal world. After escaping a slave ship, you wash ashore in chains on the island kingdom of Daneth. Alone and hunted, you must fight to survive in a land where cruelty is common and easy answers are rare.

Inspired by the great RPGs of the 80s and 90s, Code of The Savage combines classic non-linear exploration with a modern presentation. The world of Daneth is hand-crafted and designed to reward curiosity, danger, and discovery. Rather than burying you in lore from the outset, the game invites you to uncover its history naturally through exploration, conversation, and experience.

The developer’s news post about the latest trailer for the game makes the connection to Ultima even more explicit:

Code of The Savage is a dark fantasy RPG inspired by classic open-world RPGs like Ultima 6 and Ultima 7, with a focus on exploration, dialogue, survival, dangerous encounters, and a harsh medieval world.

You can check out the trailer below. And if what you see appeals to you, you can head on over to Steam to add it to your wishlist!
