Sunderfolk brings up to four players around an enchanting shared-screen experience that rewards thoughtful teamwork and, like the best tabletop games, inspires creativity and camaraderie.
Sunderfolk features an unfolding narrative that takes the intrepid adventuring party on a quest through the Sunderlands—starting in Arden, their idyllic hometown village, which they’ve been enlisted to save. As they battle their way through the mines, wilderness, and labyrinths of the game’s vibrant world, players will encounter colorful characters, discover hidden secrets, and develop new collaborative strategies for defeating their enemies.
Each player will pick one of the six classes (Arcanist, Bard, Berserker, Pyromancer, Ranger, and Rogue), and together, you'll venture out into the Sunderlands and engage in turn-based tactical combat. During combat, there is no set player turn order, so your strategy can adapt in a moment's notice to react to the conditions of the battlefield. With new enemies appearing at every turn, it's up to your party to find the best approach to each mission.
Between missions, players will return to Arden and help improve the village. You'll unlock and upgrade different local vendors, build relationships with other Sunderfolk to earn rewards, and outfit your characters with new Skills, Weapons, Trinkets, and more.
Using their phone or tablet as a controller (free mobile app is required to play the game) for the onscreen action, players will face down fearsome monsters, manage their inventory of card-based items and skills, and interact with merchants and other characters inhabiting the Sunderlands. No elaborate setup, rulebooks, or materials are needed; Sunderfolk introduces a streamlined alternative to the traditional tabletop-gaming experience and makes playing and having fun together more accessible than ever.
Your goal, as the heroes of Arden, is to protect the town and its Brightshard from the corruption of shadowstone and defeat the threats from the surrounding Sunderlands.
Dreamhaven development studio Secret Door announced that Sunderfolk 2.0 update is launching for existing platforms and the Epic Games Store on March 10, 2026.
This major update adds new content, including the tank-style Vanguard hero and two new sets of missions, to all platforms and two of the most requested PC features: mouse and keyboard controls and online multiplayer.
Sunderfolk’s free 2.0 update adds:
- Mouse & Keyboard Controls: Sunderfolk’s 2.0 update overhauls the game’s user interface on PC to support mouse and keyboard controls for solo play and online multiplayer while maintaining phone controller support for couch co-op play.
- PC Online Multiplayer: PC players can team up with their friends through online player-hosted sessions. Each player must have their own copy of Sunderfolk.
- The Vanguard Hero: Vanguard expands Sunderfolk’s roster of playable heroes to seven and adds a small but mighty brawler for adventurers who prefer playing both offensively and defensively. The Vanguard’s burning spirit makes them fit for the heart of battle, where they unleash devastating blows while serving as a shield for their allies.
- More Missions: Through Sunderfolk’s One Shot Mode, players can tackle the “Sacred Sand” and “Arena Rumble” sets of missions that connect as a continuous experience. “Sacred Sand” includes four missions in which players must help the Sacred Bug reclaim her lost home from a powerful enemy. “Arena Rumble” is a three-mission tournament where players battle for glory in the Ogre Arena.
Key Features:
- Rediscover Game Night: The best adventures are meant to be shared. Up to four can play Sunderfolk, either in person or virtually, with each player’s phone or tablet serving as a seamless interface for character management and controlling the action on the TV or local/streamed monitor screen—a new spin on the classic game night experience.
- Answer the Call to Adventure: Choose to play as one of six distinctive heroes (Arcanist, Bard, Berserker, Pyromancer, Ranger, Rogue), each with their own strategic role and passive ability. The heroes can be tailored and customized with weapons, armor, items, and skills as they level up, creating a powerful and well-rounded party equipped to overcome the challenges ahead.
- Step Into a New World: Sunderfolk takes place in a handcrafted fantasy setting full of imaginative locations, exotic creatures, and eccentric characters. Dark forces are emerging from the Sunderlands and threatening Arden, and it falls to the players to protect the peaceful village and its inhabitants. Arden serves as a base of operations that expands with new shops and services as players progress through the game. Return to Arden between missions to upgrade vendors for new items and equipment, and befriend the townsfolk to gain rewards.
- Put Your Tactics to the Test: In combat, players must strategize on positioning and turn order, selecting from their deck of Skill Cards to execute movements and attacks and use items. Luck is also involved, with Fate Cards played every turn that can impact their effectiveness. As they complete missions, players gain experience and rewards, gradually unlocking ways to customize their decks. The key to victory is understanding the strengths of the heroes and collaborating on a strategy based on the battle map and monsters in play.
Scanning a QR code on your TV/monitor will take you to the free Sunderfolk phone app (on both iOS and Android), which will transform your phone or tablet into your controller, hand of cards, rulebook, inventory, and more. Friends and family can learn to play quickly, since all the information they need will be in the palm of their hand.
Sunderfolk is available for PC (Steam / Epic Games Store), PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
