Rewilders: The Lost Spring

Players will embody Abi, a survivor returning to the poisoned surface of the world to rescue her lost family and restore the wild. While exploring corrupted biomes—unlocking Hântu, finding lore, secrets, and enemies born from a failed society—she will come across her family and help restore them just as she will her environments, with the help of a mysterious being called Rif. The team was heavily inspired by the works of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli films, which convey messages of ecological destruction, empowerment, and family, while developing Rewilders. Utilizing creative audio-visual presentations and gameplay to tell evocative stories is a key component of Herobeat's development philosophy.

  • 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.
