Developer Herobeat has unveiled their upcoming title, Rewilders: The Lost Spring, a game inspired by Hayao Miyazaki's storytelling and Studio Ghibli's aesthetics. Following their BAFTA-award-winning debut, Endling - Extinction is Forever, this new project is not a direct sequel but promises to capture similar narrative echoes and atmosphere. Rewilders is characterized as an open-world action roguelite that emphasizes creature collection and metroidvania-like progression. Players will assume the role of Abi, navigating a poisoned world to rescue her family and revive the wild, facing off against corrupted creatures. Key features include creature collecting, fast-paced combat, roguelite elements, interconnected worlds, and a base-building system that enhances gameplay variety. While still in development, more details and a trailer are now available on the game's website.

What are the key features of Rewilders: The Lost Spring?

Key features include creature collecting with unique abilities, fast-paced third-person combat, roguelite elements for randomized experiences, interconnected world design with metroidvania progression, and a base-building system to level up creatures and unlock buffs.

Herobeat gained recognition with their first title, Endling - Extinction is Forever, which received critical acclaim for its storytelling and visual presentation. The upcoming Rewilders aims to build on this successful foundation, appealing to fans of narrative-driven games and vibrant visuals typical of Miyazaki's works.
