Wildermyth, a turn-based tactical RPG, has been a standout game for many players, including Sin. With the recent release of its second DLC, Omenroad, the game took on a new dimension as a roguelike. However, the news that came along with this update was unexpected – Worldwalker Games, the development team behind Wildermyth, announced that active development on the game is now complete. While they will continue to provide support and address critical bugs, there will be no new content in the future. Additionally, the team stated that they will be saying goodbye to many members as Worldwalker Games goes into hibernation.
In a statement, co-owner Nate Austin emphasized that the decision to put Wildermyth to rest was not due to poor sales of the Omenroad DLC, which has actually been performing well. Instead, the team felt that it was time to move on from this particular project after dedicating 11 years to its development. Austin mentioned that while there is no set timeline, he believes that Worldwalker Games may reemerge in the future with a new project that captures their passion once again.
Austin described the process of finding a new project as akin to venturing into the wilderness. This suggests that the team will take some time to explore different ideas and possibilities before committing to a new endeavor. Despite the success of Wildermyth, the team does not seem eager to jump into creating a sequel, signaling a desire to explore fresh creative territory.
The decision to halt active development on Wildermyth marks the end of an era for both the game and Worldwalker Games. It’s a bittersweet moment for fans who have enjoyed the unique gameplay experience that Wildermyth offered. However, the announcement also carries a sense of anticipation for what the future holds for the talented individuals at Worldwalker Games. As they enter this period of hibernation, it will be interesting to see where their creative journey takes them next.
The winding road of game development has led Worldwalker Games to this moment of transition. While Wildermyth may have reached its final destination, the spirit of creativity and innovation that drove its creation lives on in the hearts of the team members. As they embark on a new chapter, we can only wait with excitement to see what worlds they will bring to life next.
