Terra Nil: new gameplay trailer from Devolver Digital

Terra Nil

The publisher Devolver Digital has released a new trailer of the ecological management Terra Nil, on the occasion of the summer events of the video game industry. For those unfamiliar with it, it is a city builder in which the goal is not to build cities, but to restore life on Earth and then recycle the structures used to do it.

In the video we can see this concept applied , with essentially arid soil made fertile thanks to the use of various tools.

If you want to know more about the game, read our Terra Nil test, in which we wrote:

The Terra Nil demo lasts too short to allow us to make any precise judgments. Let's say that the premises are very interesting, but it will be necessary to see if they will hold up in a complete title, given that the risk of repetition is around the corner. In the final version we expect to find more biomes to regenerate, more structures to build and recycle, and more difficulties in achieving the objectives. We'll see.

Terra Nil is in development for PC. If you want you can try a demo to understand the peculiar game mechanics.

Turn a barren wasteland into an ecological paradise complete with different flora and fauna. Then clean up, leaving the environment pristine.


Subverting the builder genre, Terra Nil is about the restoration of a ravaged environment.


Terra Nil presents players with a task of global environmental rejuvenation. The open-ended strategy progresses through multiple stages of restoration, begin with the water system, slowly purify the soil, and cultivate pioneer greenery. Embark on more ambitious tasks, restore biodiversity, fix the climate, introduce wildlife, and finally recycle all the structures you used to get there, leaving the environment pristine.


Navigate sprawling, procedurally generated maps with lush hand painted environments where everything but the rocks move and breathe. Restore the world’s climate with unique weather patterns for different regions and a beautiful and meditative reactive soundtrack and audio palette. Yet even within a region, no two playthroughs will be the same.


Fearless environmental saviors Devolver Digital and Free Lives today revealed a new trailer for reverse city builder Terra Nil in the Wholesome Direct showcase. The trailer showcases the barren wastelands that players will revitalize into lush ecosystems when it releases on PC in 2023.


Download the demo on Steam if you ACTUALLY CARE about the environment.


Terra Nil is coming to PC (Steam) in 2023.
