Players embody Abi, a survivor returning to the poisoned surface of the world to rescue her lost family and restore the wild. Discover corrupted biomes and face off against twisted creatures born from a failed society. The trailer also features an original theme song with vocals by Julie Elven (Aloy’s Theme, Horizon Zero Dawn).

As you heal the world, its original inhabitants return. The Hântu are reawakened fauna — local creatures once driven to extinction — who join the fight and expand the player’s abilities. By feeding and leveling them up, players can craft their own team and playstyle, adapting their combat strategy on every run. In the skyship base, players can grow plants using the seeds and other resources gathered while exploring to unlock permanent buffs, evolve companions, and prepare for the next descent.

Every run sends players into a dynamic open world filled with hostile enemies. Use metroidvania-style traversal boons like a glider, grappling hook, or wall-running to reach and explore new biomes. Rebuild ecosystems through action: rewild the zones, reactivate Springs and bring back life one biome at a time. But beware — each victory brings a choice. Will they restore the memory of the world that was… or let hatred reshape it into something new?

While Wilderings isn’t a complete spiritual successor to Herobeat’s debut title Endling: Extinction is Forever, players can expect echoes of Endling’s heartfelt storytelling, lovingly designed aesthetics and score within, filled with messages that last well after the credits have finished rolling. The team was heavily inspired by the works of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli films for conveying messages of ecological destruction, empowerment, and family while developing Wilderings. Utilizing creative audio-visual presentation and gameplay to tell evocative stories pulses through Herobeat’s development philosophy.

As the Herobeat Studios prepares to bring more players into its world this June through a public Steam demo, Rewilders: The Lost Spring is officially becoming Wilderings: The Lost Spring.

While the change began with a trademark review, Wilderings: The Lost Spring better reflects the game’s creature-led identity, putting the focus on the strange world players enter and the Hântu companions that shape their journey.

Players will be able to try Wilderings: The Lost Spring for themselves when the public demo launches on Steam on June 3.

Key Features:

• An open-world roguelite experience where curiosity and discovery go hand in hand, finding items, secrets, and paths to new challenges
• Growth and rewards to be gained from fighting back against the corruption of Abi’s home across five unique biomes with their own bosses
• Multiple combinations and approaches to play with while engaging in combat, utilizing several kinds of Hântu, abilities, levels, and buffs (permanent or temporary)
• A heart-warming story about family, friendship, resilience, and kindness.
• Moving music, scenes from renowned artist Julie Elven, and the makers of Endling - Extinction is Forever.

Wilderings: The Lost Spring is in development for PC (Steam / GOG / Epic Games Store) and consoles (Nintendo Switch and Xbox).
