In 2014, high school students Philip Westre and Wilhelm Nylund started developing their first game called Air Brawl, which is "a fast-paced multiplayer dogfighting game". The game was nominated for the Swedish Game Awards in 2014, and a year after, on June 2, 2015, was published on Steam.[4] In 2015, Westre and Nylund co-founded a company, which was initially called "Wilnyls Game Company".[5] Later, Petter Henriksson and Karl Flodin joined the development team, and the company was renamed to "Landfall", as it remains today.
In 2015, after the release of Square Brawl, the development of Clustertruck began. The game was described as a "chaotic physics-based truckformer" and inspired by Nylund, who while traveling home from Gamescom, imagined himself escaping traffic by jumping on trucks to get home faster,[6] which led to the creation of the game's prototype. Clustertruck was released on Steam by tinyBuild on September 27, 2016. The game was compared to "The floor is lava".[7] Jed Whitaker from Destructoid described it as "stupid, fun, stupid fun".
In November 2016, Landfall premiered an alpha-version of their new project, known as Totally Accurate Battle Simulator. Abbreviated as TABS, the game is a physics-based strategy game, where the player can create armies for a limited amount of in-game value to defeat an enemy force.[8] The game was fully released on April 2, 2021 together with another game known as Rounds.[9]TABS received generally positive reviews, and as of August 2025 remains the most popular game by Landfall, having over 120,000 reviews on Steam, of which about 97% are positive.[citation needed]
On April 1, 2024, Landfall released a co-opsurvival-horrorvideo game called Content Warning. It reached over 50 thousand concurrent players in the first twelve hours after the launch and about 2.2 million sales after 2 months after on Steam.[10][11]Content Warning was a huge success for Landfall, which attracted more players to the company's other games.[12] By now, the company has about 12 employees, the CEO of the company is Wilhelm Nylund and the COO is Petter Henriksson.[13]
On June 17, 2025, Landfall published a new game together with Aggro Crab Games, called Peak - a cooperative climbing game, where the player's goal is to scale a mountain on a deserted island.[14] The game has reached more than 100,000 concurrent players in less than one week after its release, and was greeted with very positive reviews on Steam.[15][16] After the release, Aggro Crab's Twitter account commented on game's success: "Why did this stupid jam game sell more copies than Another Crabs Treasure I'm gonna crash out".[17]
List of video games
Landfall is known for publishing their games on April Fools' Day.[2][3] The studio specializes on multiplayer games. On their official website, they describe themselves with a quote of Petter Henriksson, the COO of the company:
"Small studio staying small. Makes physics games, also other games, sometimes funny. Doing well, now funds things sometimes, only cool stuff."
