Additional Insights

History:

The Wandering Village is the third simulation game made by Stray Fawn Studio. After seeing a beautiful artwork of a city carried by a giant creature at a local exhibition, the two founders agreed it would make an excellent setting for their next game. The rest of the team quickly came on board with the idea.

After researching, they found few games where the giant creature truly impacted gameplay. They set out to create a game about symbiosis between a wandering beast and a group of human survivors. Successfully funded on Kickstarter, the game entered Early Access on September 14, 2022 on Steam, with an Xbox Game Preview release on July 20, 2023. Its 1.0 release marks its debut on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch on July 17, 2025.
