Thank You for Playing the Wanderburg Playtest - Demo coming in February

[p]Today our first public playtest is coming to an end, and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who took part.

Over 126,000 players jumped into Wanderburg during the playtest. That number still feels a bit unreal to us, and we’re incredibly grateful for the time, feedback, bug reports, and enthusiasm you shared with us. [/p][p][/p][p]We also want to wish everyone a great holiday break. We’ll be taking a few days off ourselves to recharge, since this playtest has been quite intense for us. Then we’ll be back at it with a clear head. [/p][p][/p][p]We’ll return with a new, improved DEMO build with more content in February for the Steam Next Fest.
Don’t forget to wishlist and follow Wanderburg to get a notification when it goes live:

[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]Thank you again for supporting Wanderburg so early on. We’re excited to show you what’s next.

Wanderburg Playtest Extended by One Week! Thank You Everyone

[h2]Hi, we want to give a huge thank you to all of you who joined our first public playtest![/h2]

We were incredibly surprised by how many players showed up, and many of you are still playing right now. (We had a player peak of almost 1900, absolute madness!)

Your feedback has been incredibly valuable.
We’re already fixing bugs, improving systems and making adjustments based on what you’ve shared with us. And it helps us a lot with the direction going forward as well.

Because of your excitement and support, we’re extending the playtest by a full week. We want to give you more time to enjoy Wanderburg and give ourselves more space to improve the game with your insights.
Afterwards the playtest will go offline and we'll prepare a demo with lots of new content (and less bugs) for the Steam Next Fest in February 2026!

If you’d like to stay involved with development, join our community on Discord.
We’re running a Steam Key Giveaway there as a thank you to our early supporters. (Check out the announcement post!)

And don't forget to wishlist & follow Wanderburg if you haven't yet!
