The game features a massive, seamless 3D open world encompassing iconic locations like the Kingdom of Liones, the Fairy King's Forest, and Camelot. The world is divided into diverse biomes including lush grasslands, volcanic peaks, and underwater caverns.

Inspired by the Swiss Alps, this sprawling valley features diverse biomes, including a tourist town, industrial areas, farmlands, murky swamps, and a national park. The rural setting offers a different parkour and survival experience compared to the dense cities of previous games.
