Wildmender will have players unearthing the past in order to protect the future in this eco-friendly survival title. Published by Kwalee and developed by Muse Games, Wildmender can be played in solo or with up to three friends in online co-op in a diverse and procedurally generated world. The game will launch on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 in 2023.
“Wildmender is everything we are about as a team - bringing people together through games, pushing the boundaries of systems driven gameplay, and caring about the environment", said Howard Tsao, Head of Studio, Muse Games. "We are so thrilled to have Kwalee as our publisher. The Kwalee team shares our vision and passion, and everyone at Kwalee is so supportive and great to work with.”
Players must search the landscape to find new seeds, discover blueprints for tools, and commune with lost spirits to discover new tools to craft while also unlocking new craftable items and magical abilities. As this is a survival game, players will also have to construct buildings and have the option of decorating their home. Interestingly, an irrigation system can be built, as well as a custom garden.
“We are so impressed with the creative vision and gorgeous direction – both artistically and ethically - that Muse Games have taken with ‘Wildmender’ and feel honoured they have chosen us as publisher, " said Max Everingham, Head of PC and Console Publishing at Kwalee. "We can’t wait to see how the full game delivers on this vision and think gamers are going to love the inspirational twist on the survival gameplay.”
The world of Wildmender must be protected from the corruptive influence of the wraiths, which can be done using both the player's weapons and magical abilities. To help defend their world, players can befriend local wildlife and receive magical boons in exchange.
