Recently, Wildermyth, a turn-based tactical RPG, released its second DLC called Omenroad, which transformed the game into a roguelike. However, the announcement came shortly after that active development on Wildermyth is now complete. While the team at Worldwalker Games will continue to provide support and fix critical bugs, there will be no new content or updates for the game in the future. This decision marked the end of an era for Wildermyth and also for the team behind it.
In a statement, studio co-owner Nate Austin revealed that Worldwalker Games is going into hibernation for the time being. Despite the success of Omenroad in terms of sales, Austin explained that the team is ready to move on from the project after years of dedicated work. This hibernation period does not necessarily signify the end of Worldwalker Games forever, as Austin hinted at the possibility of returning to game development in the future.
Exploring New Horizons
Austin expressed that the team’s process of finding a new project involves venturing into the unknown and allowing creativity to flourish. While there are no immediate plans for a Wildermyth sequel, Austin emphasized that the team is open to exploring different avenues for their next endeavor. After spending 11 years on Wildermyth, the team is ready to embark on a new chapter and channel their passion into a fresh project.
Reflecting on the eleven-year development process of Wildermyth, the team at Worldwalker Games shared insights into the challenges and triumphs they experienced along the way. Despite the bittersweet conclusion of active development, the legacy of Wildermyth will endure as a testament to the team’s dedication and creativity. As they bid farewell to this chapter, the team remains grateful for the support of the community and looks forward to what the future holds.
The announcement of the end of active development for Wildermyth marks a significant milestone for Worldwalker Games. While this chapter may be closing, it paves the way for new opportunities and creative endeavors in the future.
