The Legend of Khiimori: Map Size and Regions
The world is a massive, seamless open-world divided into distinct biomes: Open Grassland Steppes, Snowy Highland Mountains, Dense Forests, and Scorching Deserts. Navigation is physical; players use a literal piece of parchment paper and landmarks rather than a digital HUD. The terrain is dynamic, with physics-based mud and snow that directly impacts travel speed and horse safety.
The Legend of Khiimori: Post-Launch Content / DLC
The Early Access roadmap includes Falconry, wild horse taming, traditional Mongolian Horse Racing, a Peaceful Mode, and additional biomes. Major patches like 0.5.3 have already expanded stable capacity and fixed game-breaking bugs.
The Legend of Khiimori Skills & Upgrades Overview
Progression is tied to 'Prestige' and horse training. Horses have five core stats: Strength, Agility, Endurance, Balance, and Spirit. These are improved by performing specific tasks, such as riding through deep snow to increase Endurance or jumping obstacles to boost Spirit. Naraa can also unlock perks like 'Taming Expert' and 'Master Trader' using Skill Points earned from successful courier contracts.

Currently in Steam Early Access ($29.99). The Kickstarter successfully funded various tiers, including digital artbooks and soundtrack access. Full 1.0 release is planned for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
