Deal | From $39.99 to $0: Open-world MMORPG goes free on Steam for a very limited time
Wild Terra 2: New Lands is currently free to keep on Steam. This one is a niche medieval sandbox MMO, which the giveaway turns into an unusually low‑risk holiday pickup. The giveaway runs until December 18 at 18:00 UTC; you can claim it before the deadline and the game will stay in your library permanently.
Developed by Juvty Worlds, Wild Terra 2 mixes survival systems, crafting, housing and open‑world PvE into a top‑down medieval setting. Players have to gather resources, build homesteads, tame mounts - all while participating in a largely player‑driven economy, with different servers offering varying PvP and PvE rulesets. The current promotion is seemingly intended to draw attention to a new high‑speed PvE server and a Christmas event, that will likely pull both new and lapsed players back into the game.
On Steam, Wild Terra 2 has a "Mixed" overall user rating. However, more recent reviews are slightly more positive as the team seems to be iterating on progression and balance. Criticism centers around the grind, population dips and rough edges - all of which are typical of small‑team MMOs. A fair number of players like the deep crafting systems, active developer community, and the appeal of a slower, community‑driven sandbox. External coverage has been somewhat sparse since the 2022 release, but the latest content drops and this giveaway are part of a bigger attempt to relaunch the title into a healthier state.
The standard Steam list price for Wild Terra 2 sits around $39.99. However, regional pricing and occasional discounts drop it into the 50-70% off range during major sales - with $13.99 and $11.99 being the most common price drops. Plus, SteamDB is flagging the current 100% discount as a limited "Free Promotional Package," which further confirms that it is a permanent license rather than a free weekend. Only the base game is included; optional DLC such as the recently released Cultist Pack is still paid content.
If you think you can tolerate some jank in exchange for a persistent medieval sandbox with no monthly fee, this is likely the lowest barrier of entry Wild Terra 2 will see for some time. You can check out the Steam store page for the game here.
