Fae & Fauna planned for Steam in Q1 2027 with Faeons and co-op companion mechanics

• The Steam version is planned for the first quarter of 2027.
• The materials shown feature Faeons, crafting, home management, and combat.

What happened

Fae & Fauna has been officially unveiled as an open-world game from Aurora Arts, a Swedish studio. On its Steam page, the project is described as an open world pet collecting role-playing game in which players gather magical creatures in undiscovered lands and explore the wilderness with their companions. The Steam description also explicitly says players can collect magical creatures in undiscovered lands and fight dangers in the wilds alongside their companions.

According to the available information, the game is targeting a Steam release in the first quarter of 2027. That release window is not a fixed date yet, but a planned period from January through March 2027. The first gameplay trailer showed cel-shaded visuals and introduced the Faeons, the collectible creatures players can bring along during exploration and use in combat. In the available description, these companions are also tied to combat alongside open-world exploration.

Beyond collecting companions, the Steam information also mentions crafting, cooking, mining, home ownership, and decoration. Players would also be able to customize their character and outfits, build relationships with NPCs, and create their own pets using magic and chemistry. The available Steam FAQ also includes questions about platform support and controller use, indicating that the store page already bundles additional practical information, although not all of it is detailed in the provided text.

Background

The current description positions Fae & Fauna as a creature-collecting RPG with a clear focus on gathering magical beings. That matches the Steam page, where the emphasis is on Faeons, exploration, and combat in an open world. The available information also mentions a range of systems that go beyond collecting, including crafting, cooking, mining, home ownership, decoration, and character customization.

The game is also linked in the provided sources to social and personal systems. Players are said to be able to build relationships with NPCs, and romance is part of the description. The available information also says players can create their own pets with magic and chemistry. That makes it clear that Fae & Fauna is currently being presented not only as a combat and exploration game, but also as one centered on building a home base and a broader set of companion and life-sim-like systems.

Not everything has been confirmed yet. The Q1 2027 plan is still a release window rather than a fixed date, and based on the available information it is not clear whether Fae & Fauna will launch on platforms beyond Steam. The exact scope of the systems also remains open: the sources mention crafting, cooking, mining, romance, and pet creation, but do not provide concrete numbers, counts, or full mechanical details. The name Faeons is used in the current materials for the companion creatures, but the available information still leaves open whether that will remain the final official name.
