Publisher Chucklefish and developer Cute Newt have announced Wildekin, a cute 3D pixel-art co-op crafting and survival adventure game.
Wildekin is in development for Windows PC (via Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass, with a release set for 2026.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:
Wildekin is a 3D pixel-art adventure where up to 4 friends can build, explore, survive and thrive—or at least try to before some creature tries to turn you into a light snack!
Features
- Explore the Wilderness
- Team up for a chaotic adventure together with online co-op for up to 4 players
- Plot a course to explore new islands, and garb yourself in the right gear to survive in each environment
- Fight monsters, loot treasure, and steal sea charts from bosses to unlock even stranger lands
- Use weapons, gizmos, and your wits to navigate dungeons and their deadly puzzles!
- Build up Your Beastly Utopia
- Construct, decorate, and micromanage your village like a tiny, furry dictator – or errm.. “town planner”
- Don your builder’s hat and redesign the layout of your town as and when you like
- Craft gear, grow crops and arrange furniture—because nothing says “I live here” like a crafting station randomly placed in the middle of your town.
- Assign jobs to rescued Wildekin so that they can help revitalise the town (they’ll thank you… probably)
- Build stores such as a forge, a workshop and the Inventorium Emporium to aid you in your adventuring, or just open a music shop if you’re looking to start a tonally-challenged tribute band
- Socialize Like a Pro (Or At Least Try)
- Befriend Wildekin with unique personalities and strong opinions on turnips
- Allow yourself to be judged by your neighbours by taking part in contests and seasonal events
- Complete billboard requests because nothing says “local hero” like fetching someone’s lost socks from a volcano dungeon
