Wildermyth coming to PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch on October 22

Publisher Auroch Digital and developer Worldwalker Games will release procedural storytelling RPG Wildermyth: Console Edition for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch on October 22, the companies announced.

Physical editions will also be available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Switch, and include a physical copy of the “Monster Compendium,” as well as the downloadable content “Off-hand Item Skin Pack,” which features a collection of off-hand items such as torches, shields, and more.

Wildermyth first launched in Early Access for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on November 13, 2019, followed by a full release on June 15, 2021.

Here is an overview of the Console Edition, via Auroch Digital:

What is Wildermyth: Console Edition?

Wildermyth: Console Edition is a character-driven, procedurally generated turn-based tactical RPG that puts your characters at the heart of the story. Leading a band of farmers turned heroes, players will face encounters where decisions will have character-defining consequences, changing their appearances, granting them new abilities and forming a narrative that is unique to the player.

Reminiscent of tabletop roleplaying games, every scene from its richly layered papercraft world looks straight out of a fairytale pop-up book. Great attention has been paid in creating something truly unique, breaking away from the traditional fantasy tropes and exploring new ideas: forget orcs and elves—how about telepathic insect dragons and clockwork undead chimeras?

No adventure can last forever, but as characters age or die, they live on in their children, who form the bulk of your new party in consequent campaigns. Players’ favourite heroes can be added to a legendary pantheon, called upon again in future playthroughs.

What’s New for Console?

• Redesigned User Interface and Controls for Gamepad – Auroch Digital has taken care in ensuring that the much-loved experience from Wildermyth‘s original release is not lost in the console edition. The user interface and controls have been redesigned to work with a gamepad in mind, ensuring in-game elements are easily readable, and the controls feel intuitive for the best gaming experience.
• Monster Compendium and Local Cooperative Multiplayer – Wildermyth: Console Edition also introduces two new and exclusive features. The first of these is the Monster Compendium, an in-game tome that provides detailed information and lore about enemies and the factions they serve. The second feature introduces local cooperative multiplayer, each player taking command of multiple characters and allowing them to share in an unfolding story together.
