Rewilders: The Lost Spring, an open-world action roguelite, announced for Nintendo Switch

Herobeat Studios today unveiled its next project, which is Rewilders: The Lost Spring. The game is coming to Nintendo Switch in the future.

Rewilders: The Lost Spring, an open-world action roguelite, features creature collection and Metroidvania-like progression. The title promises “an emotionally impactful story about friendship, family, responsibility, and restoration.”

Lots of additional details can be found in the following overview:

What if nature could fight back?

Rewilders: The Lost Spring is a third-person Soulslite adventure with roguelite elements, where you play as Abi, a lone survivor venturing across a poisoned world in search of her missing family.

Discover corrupted biomes and face off against twisted creatures born from a failed society.

Every run sends you into a dynamic open world filled with hostile enemies. Use Metroidvania-style traversal boons like a glider, a grappling hook, or wall-running ability to reach new biomes to explore.

Rebuild ecosystems through action: rewild zones, reactivate Springs, and bring back life—one biome at a time.

As you heal the world, its original inhabitants return. The Hantu are reawakened fauna—local creatures once driven to extinction—who join your fight and expand your abilities. By feeding, and leveling them up, you can craft your own team and playstyle, adapting your combat strategy on every run.

In your skyship base, grow plants using the seeds and other resources gathered while exploring to unlock permanent buffs, evolve your companions, and prepare for the next descent.

But beware—each victory brings a choice. Will you restore the memory of the world that was… or let your hatred reshape it into something new?
