'Mirthwood' Co-Op Update Adding Local Co-Op/Steam Remote Play Later This Summer - Trailer

by Rainier on June 3, 2025 @ 10:00 a.m. PDT

Mirthwood is a captivating RPG life sim adventure that lets you embark on an epic journey through a beautifully crafted world filled with mystery and magic.

Inspired by Fable, Stardew Valley, Rimworld, and a sprinkle of The Sims, Mirthwood features a rich, fully realized open world with gorgeous hand-drawn graphics and an original musical score. 

Arriving in a land filled with opportunity and secrets, players create their own adventurer, a refugee having freshly fled from a war-torn continent. With a completely open world and non-linear progression, players can choose what kind of life they want to lead. Those with wanderlust may elect to navigate through treacherous forests, explore ancient ruins, and battle against formidable creatures to uncover the land's hidden treasures.

Some may long for the simple life of settling down. Players will come to own an upgradable homestead, building up their very own farm, complete with crops, orchards, and animal rearing. Take your produce to the local town, trading and interacting with various unique personalities and characters using a Sims-like relationship system. Building friendships and trust can lead to unique rewards, quests, and even budding romances.

Mirthwood offers players a deep and engaging experience, with a rich world and questing system filled with twists and turns. Along the way, players will contend with the unpredictable world around them, making choices that affect their character and others, allowing for multiple playthroughs and unique experiences. The game also features a robust crafting system, allowing players to create powerful weapons and items to aid them at home and in their travels.

Mirthwood is sure to captivate players with its detailed world, a cast of memorable characters, intricate storylines and dynamic combat, keeping players continually engaged and challenged throughout their journey.

Will you settle a new homestead to live a life of farming and trade, or pick up the sword and take up the adventurers' path?


Explore the enchanting realm of medieval life sim RPG Mirthwood with friends for the first time in the new Co-Op Update, introducing both local co-op features and Steam Remote Play compatibility, so players can journey with companions on the adventure ahead. 

Venture into the Freelands of Mirthwood, where you can truly choose and curate your fate with a friend at your side for the first time. Forge your unique identity and embark on an adventure filled with farming, fighting, love, and more — the options are limitless! Experience synchronous drop-in/drop-out local co-op and a dynamic shared screen for seamless collaboration. Players will retain their own levels, skills, and inventories when switching between co-op and single-player modes, maintaining each player’s unique attributes. All features that players have encountered on their adventures in solo mode can now be enjoyed with company, including marriage and starting a family.

Prepare to band together as Mirthwood local and Steam Remote Play co-op will be available later this summer, with online co-op releasing at a later date.
