“Southfield is the culmination of a huge amount of imagination, trial and error, and sheer hard work by the Radical Forge team. We wanted to create an ambitious, silly farming game with ridiculous characters in a fantastical world.” said Bruce Slater, CEO and Game Director
"Most of all, we wanted to build an island that generates fun’. And now we can get it into Early Access and see what you think. For me, this is where the game will take on a new life, and the players will take it in directions we can’t even imagine.”
Southfield is funded by the Private Division Development Fund.
Wishlist Southfield on Steam today and stay tuned for the first playable demo coming very soon.

About Radical Forge
Radical Forge started out in 2017 when Bruce Slater and Freddie Babord decided to establish a studio where triple-A quality and ambition didn’t need to be separated from values of kindness, creativity, playfulness and authenticity. Since then Radical Forge has earned co-development credits on titles they properly admire. If you've played Gang Beasts, Sea of Thieves, and Zombie Army 4's DLC, you’ve probably enjoyed some of their work. Radical Forge released their own IP, feline puzzler Bright Paw in 2020. In 2024, the studio will publish their next original IP, Southfield, funded by the Private Division Development Fund.
