Wildmender is Releasing on September 28th 🐸
This autumn just got a whole lot cozier 🍂
We’re excited to announce that Wildmender will be officially releasing on September 28th!
Wildmender is a desert gardening survival game where you’ll get to start from a small spring in a barren desert and grow it into a blossoming oasis. Search the desert around you for valuable seeds to grow new plants and resources that you can use to craft a range of useful items. As you explore the desert, you’ll find adorable wildlife to befriend, secrets to uncover, and ancient deities to ally with. Just remember to take a full water bottle and plenty of food!
You won’t have to go alone though, since Wildmender will support 4-player online multiplayer and crossplay with console 👥
Check out our brand new trailer, where we revealed our release date 👇
We'd like to say a huge thank you to our wonderful Wildmender community for all of your support. Without all of your feedback from our demo and multiple alpha tests, none of this would have been possible. Wildmender is as much yours as it is ours, and we can’t wait for you to experience it in full this September 💚
We also wanted to use this announcement to address some problems that people have told us about with the demo.
The Chinese translation in the demo was done using a translator, so we are aware that it is not a very accurate translation. We have used a professional translation company for the final game, so the Chinese translation will be much better 💚
The demo only supports online multiplayer for 2 players, but the final game will support 4 players.
We understand that some players have had connection issues with accessing the demo or accessing multiplayer, but we have found that these issues are because of either a problem with the player’s internet connection, their VPN, or their accelerator. If you do experience connection issues or can’t access the game, please check your internet connection, your VPN, and your accelerator to resolve the problem.
Thank you so much for taking the time to play our demo and for providing so much feedback! We can’t wait for you to come along on this journey with us and discover even more about the world of Wildmender 🌿

We've pushed a small update to the Wildmender Demo to update the non-english translations to a more complete version.
