The Wandering Village reveals Nintendo Switch physical release

Stray Fawn Studio is working with Serenity Forge on a physical release of The Wandering Village on Nintendo Switch, it’s been announced.

A standard version is planned alongside a collector’s edition. In the latter, you’ll be getting a sticker sheet, soundtrack download card, 5-inch pot, wooden pin set, art book, rubber keychain, and postcards. The former only includes the soundtrack download card and sticker sheet.

For those that need a refresher, below is an overview of the game:

In a world where mysterious plants are spreading all over the earth, emitting toxic spores as they grow, a small group of survivors seeks shelter on the back of a giant, wandering creature they call ‘Onbu’.
Become their leader, build their settlement and form a symbiotic relationship with Onbu to survive together in this hostile, yet beautiful post-apocalyptic world.

Key Features

• Build your village: A functioning village is the basis of your survival. Build your settlement and expand it over Onbu’s back. Plan production chains and optimise them to utilise the limited space as efficiently as possible. Create a society that can overcome any challenge.
• Live on the creature’s back: Living on the back of another organism comes with its own set of challenges. Will you live in symbiosis, bond with Onbu and survive on mutual trust? Or will you become a parasite, only aiming to ensure a better life for your villagers? The choice is yours.
• Discover different biomes: Continuously adapt your village as you travel through a multitude of different biomes, each with its unique climate zones, opportunities and threats. Scout your environments and send out foraging missions to gather rare resources and ancient artefacts.
• Research new technologies: Remnants of the old world hold knowledge that has long been forgotten, but can be unearthed by your villagers. Find and research these technologies, but use them wisely, as progress can be a double-edged sword.
• Survive the wastelands: Ensure the survival of both your villagers and your Onbu, even though poisonous spores, merciless weather, bloodsucking parasites and many more challenges mean that the odds are often stacked against you.

The Wandering Village launches digitally for Nintendo Switch on July 17, 2025 and physically later in the year. Other news about the console can be found here.
