After almost two and a half years in Early Access, Stray Fawn Studio is set to release The Wandering Village on all platforms in mid-July. The Swiss studio is also collaborating with Serenity Forge on a physical collector's edition.

Stray Fawn Studio has announced the release date for version 1.0 of its city-building game, The Wandering Village. The game is set to launch on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on 17 July 2025. The team also revealed a physical collector's edition for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch in partnership with Serenity Forge. The Swiss studio's game has been available on Early Access and Xbox Game Preview since September 2022.

"With 1.0 coming up and based on all the updates the game has received since its Early Access launch, we have decided to increase the game's price to $29.99. The price increase will go live after the current discount ends on May 27th," Stray Fawn wrote on Steam. The current price without discount is $24.99.

About the game: "In a hostile world stricken by toxic spores, a small group of survivors seek shelter on the back of a giant, wandering creature called 'Onbu'. As the settlement's new leader, navigate the many dangers this world holds in store, grow your village and, ultimately, ensure the survival of your people and Onbu alike. Provide shelter, food and entertainment for your people. Plan and optimise production chains. Make sure your village is prepared for changing climates and environmental hazards. Take the opportunity to forage the world for treasures and rare resources. Overcome great odds in a poisoned post-apocalyptic world. And decide how to live with the gentle giant: will you form a symbiotic relationship based on mutual trust, or will you become a parasite and exploit Onbu, taking whatever you want? The choice is yours to make."
