Wildermyth News

It's been one year since we went live with Wildermyth 1.0. In some ways it feels like only yesterday, and in others, it feels like years. Wildermyth has been in development for over six years. To have it released to the world, experienced by others, enjoyed by so many... it's been incredible, humbling, overwhelming at times, and generally just really dang cool.

Thank you. Thank you to everyone who has been here since our early days, those who have been following us since Early Access, and all the players still discovering our game. We have been blown away by your support and love for Wildermyth; you have all truly made the work worth it.

That being said, this isn't the end for Wildermyth! We're still developing really exciting stuff behind the scenes, and we'll have a patch out for you all this month. In the mean time, we put together a list of highlights of all the things we've released in updates over the past 12 months. This list isn't comprehensive- it just covers our most snazzy content. For more minutia, you can check out individual patch notes in their respective update announcement!

Wildermyth is now live and on sale on the Epic Games store! Crossplay is supported so you can play with your friends regardless of where you purchased Wildermyth. You don't need an Epic Account to play multiplayer, but if you have one, you can use it. This has been in the works for a while; we're very excited it's out for all you Epic Store connoisseurs!
Wildermyth is on the Epic Games Store here.

With this patch, we've added color customization options for colors used during combat. You'll be able to customize them if you're having trouble seeing any default colors! We hope this helps make Wildermyth more accessible. We've also updated an old event with fresh writing and dialogue as well as added new Tidings.

You'll also see some minor UI and sfx additions, balance changes, and a buncha bug fixes.
