Herobeat Studios develops Rewilders: The Lost Spring as their second project following the BAFTA-winning title Endling - Extinction Is Forever. The independent developer plans to self-publish this action-roguelite game across multiple platforms. Players can expect releases on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch, though the exact timing is not confirmed. The studio describes the gameplay as a combination of creature collection, Metroidvania progression, and Soulslite mechanics. Herobeat acknowledges narrative connections to their previous environmental-themed work.
The game follows protagonist Abi during their return to a contaminated homeworld after surviving catastrophic events. Players gather creatures called Hântu while exploring poisoned biomes that require restoration. Strategic decisions emerge through creature selection, leveling systems, and feeding mechanics that influence mission outcomes. A sky base serves as headquarters where players cultivate resources and unlock permanent character improvements. This roguelite structure provides traditional upgrade pathways while the team explores different gameplay approaches from their debut release.
