Wander Stars News

Fellow Kiai Masters, the stars have aligned! Wander Stars officially launches August 1 onto PC and Nintendo Switch 🎉🎉


You’ll love what’s at the heart of it all: Wander Stars’ signature twist, a word-based combat system. Instead of set moves or static menus, you’ll combine words to create your own custom attacks with a battle system built around creativity, language, and experimentation. 💥


For those following along at home, there’s even more good news: the Wander Stars Steam player beta launches very soon so make sure you have signed up here! This gives you the chance for a much deeper look at the game ahead of its launch - and the beta covers much more than the public demo. 🤩

The beta will cover three full episodes, letting you learn more about Ringo, Wolfe, and the many other quirky characters you’ll meet as you fight your way across the galaxy to find more pieces of the Wanderstar map. 🗺️

Wander Stars blends classic JRPG nostalgia and is inspired by Saturday morning cartoons and anime - who doesn’t love Dragon Ball Z? It also features a bold new battle system that lets you create your own attacks by combining words like "FIERY" + "PUNCH" in this game with an anime soul and a punchy turn-based edge.
