Studio Herobeat Studios has shared new details about Rewilders: The Lost Spring. The production is an action roguelite with creature collecting and open-world exploration. The protagonist Abi returns to the surface from an aircraft to face enemies and environmental damage.
The game invites players to transform a scenario marked by ecological devastation. Abi collects resources and creatures called Hântu as he seeks to save his homelands and reunite his family. The team behind Endling — Extinction is Forever again brings themes linked to nature and responsibility.
Hântu form the core of the gameplay
Essas creatures inhabit the ecosystems of Abi’s world. Cada features a unique appearance and distinct abilities. Os Keto resemble flying frogs. Os Hornsby are spiky and cute.
Os Hântu offer active and passive benefits when selected. Jogadores can enhance and combine them to prioritize specific skills or protections against different biomes, bosses or objectives. The discovery of new allies happens randomly in each game, although they tend to appear more in preferred biomes.
Abi expands the group as it progresses and improves its own capabilities. Testadores have already had contact with six guys. The plan calls for 16 creatures available at launch.
- Keto flying with air attacks
- Hornsby that use spikes in close combat
- Criaturas capable of immobilizing enemies like Moogler
- Aliados that launch area poison traps
- Exemplos that combine defense and exploitation support
Exploração follows metroidvania style across five biomes
The protagonist leaves the aircraft and moves in any direction. Novas locomotion abilities are unlocked as the story progresses. Isso allows you to access previously blocked areas and discover secrets.
Retornar to the aircraft is optional to refuel, re-equip and adjust the selection of Hântu. Action becomes necessary if Abi is defeated in battle. A companion helps with the return and preparation for the next trip.
The world has five distinct biomes. Cada one has enemies with strong and weak points. Jogadores need to analyze the environment and choose Hântu combinations that maximize the potential in each situation.
Roguelite mechanics bring dynamic runs. Campaign progression opens up shorter, more interesting paths over time.
Herobeat Studios maintains focus on emotional storytelling
The Spanish studio, responsible for the previous BAFTA-winning title, developed the story around friendship, family and restoration. Abi and Hântu share a desire to reclaim home.
Criaturas looks adorable, but delivers significant attack power when needed. The inspiration came from real nature, such as animals that combine cute appearance with strong defensive ability. The fictional world creatively mixes elements of appearance, behavior and skills.
Jogadores controls Abi in combat against the recurring resurgence of threats. Collecting resources from the devastated area helps in developing improvements.
