Amstelveen, Netherlands / Munich, Germany – November 4, 2026 – Publisher Mindscape and developer Aesir Interactive announced the release of The Mongolian Expanse Update for The Legend of Khiimori, available now in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Set in the vast landscapes of 13th-century Mongolia, The Legend of Khiimori is an open- world survival adventure where players take on the role of a courier rider.

The Mongolian Expanse opens up new territories, taking players into the Snowy Mountains and the Desert. Discover new routes, encounter dangerous predators and prey, and strengthen your horse with over 60 new skills. This is only the first part of the expansion, with even more of Mongolia set to become available in a future update.
