Chinese Frontiers Lets You Build the Great Wall

Imagine stepping back in time to ancient China, where you lead a growing village and help construct one of the world’s greatest wonders, the Great Wall. That’s exactly what Chinese Frontiers, an upcoming building simulator from SolidGames, is bringing to PC gamers on June 19 via Steam. Along with the release date, the developers dropped a brand-new trailer that gives a taste of what players can expect. And for those eager to get started, a demo is set to go live in early June.

In Chinese Frontiers, you won’t just throw bricks around. Players start off as humble villagers, learning and growing with each task. You'll manage not only the construction process but also the everyday life of your community. Think farming, fishing, cooking, crafting, and building. It’s not just about erecting massive walls, it’s about running a whole ecosystem that supports it.

Players will guide and assign tasks to fellow villagers to keep things running smoothly. Whether you’re gathering resources or expanding your village with new buildings, teamwork and time management will be crucial. The game blends structure and story beautifully, with breathtaking views of deserts, mountains, and rivers that reflect the diversity of ancient China’s landscapes.

A highlight of the game is its mentorship system. Characters like Jun and his granddaughter Mei will serve as your guides, teaching you about traditional crafts and Chinese legends along the way. As relationships deepen, players uncover meaningful stories and secrets from the past that help shape the future of the village.

The game features three visually rich regions, including historic landmarks like Jiayu Pass and the Jiankou section of the Great Wall. These areas each bring their own set of challenges and opportunities, so no two zones feel the same.

There’s a strong cultural heartbeat in Chinese Frontiers. It doesn’t just focus on construction; it celebrates Chinese heritage, architecture, and the values of perseverance and community.

If building something legendary sounds like your kind of adventure, Chinese Frontiers should be on your radar. Wishlist it on Steam and be ready to get your hands dirty when the demo arrives in early June.
