Wildermyth, the turn-based tactical RPG that has captivated many players, recently reached a significant milestone with the release of its second DLC, Omenroad. This DLC transformed the game into a roguelike experience, adding a new layer of challenge for fans. However, Omenroad also marks the end of active development for Wildermyth and, for the time being, for the team behind it, Worldwalker Games.
In a recent announcement, Nate Austin, co-owner of Worldwalker Games, shared the news that the studio would be going into hibernation following the completion of active development on Wildermyth. While the team plans to continue supporting the game and addressing critical bugs, there will be no new content updates in the foreseeable future. Austin emphasized that the decision to enter hibernation was not driven by Omenroad’s sales performance, which has been described as “doing quite well.” Instead, it stems from the team’s belief that they have reached the conclusion of their work on Wildermyth.
Although the future of Worldwalker Games remains uncertain, Austin hinted that this may not be the end of the road for the studio. He expressed confidence that the team would eventually find another project to channel their creativity and passion into. However, he acknowledged that this process would involve a period of exploration and introspection, likening it to wandering in the metaphorical wilderness. Despite the years of dedication poured into Wildermyth, Austin made it clear that the team was not eager to pursue a sequel to the game after over a decade of development.
Reflecting on the eleven-year journey of creating Wildermyth, the team at Worldwalker Games shared insights into the challenges and triumphs they experienced along the way. The evolution of the game from its inception to the release of Omenroad represents a significant chapter in the studio’s history. As they prepare to embark on a period of hibernation, the team remains grateful for the support of the community that has embraced Wildermyth and contributed to its success.
The announcement of Worldwalker Games’ hibernation marks a bittersweet moment for fans of Wildermyth. While the future may hold new adventures for the studio, the legacy of the game and the dedication of its developers will not be forgotten. As players bid farewell to Wildermyth in its current form, they can look back on the memories and stories that made the game a truly unforgettable experience.
