In the Legend of Khiimori you take on the role of a brave courier rider. Bond with your horse and tame the open wilds of 13th century Mongolia. Breed and train horses with specialized abilities to explore every aspect of this diverse and fascinating landscape.
The game is currently available in early access on Steam and the Epic Game Store and receives monthly content updates. In the Peaceful Wilds update we’re bringing exciting new features such as horse taming, a new game mode, and more!
New Features in The Legend of Khiimori Update
• Wild Horse Taming – All those wild horses are ripe for the picking! Try your hand at taming new horses like the true horse whisperer you are!

• Redeeming Oasis – Take a break from the heat of the sun in the cool waters of the oasis, canceling heat effects!
