Daedalic and Tiny Roar Will Launch Into the Emberlands in Summer

Into the Emberlands from Daedalic Entertainment and Tiny Roar is set to launch in Early Access in the summer of 2024. The two Hamburg-based companies are fully embracing the cozy trend, as the exploration game is about building a safe haven in a world threatened by darkness. The project was formerly known as Wanderful.

Daedalic Entertainment and developer Tiny Roar have announced that Wanderful has been given a new name to reflect its new direction. From now on, the name of the game will be Into the Emberlands. The game evolved from Tiny Roar's previous project Wanderful. Thanks to an open and iterative development approach, the game has evolved far from the original concept. This led to the decision to give the project a new name that better suited the game. Into the Emberlands is a cozy exploration game about building a safe haven in a world threatened by darkness. It is due to go into Early Access this summer.

The Emberlands are home to the peaceful Knacks, but the world has been engulfed by the mysterious Miasma, plunging everything into darkness. Daedalic Entertainment: "As the chosen Lightbearer, you’re equipped with a lantern filled with radiant Ember. With its light you can cut through the thick shroud, allowing you to venture out across different biomes and save those that strayed from the path and became lost in the darkness. In this cozy exploration game with a rogue-lite twist, you have a clear mission: Rescue the Knacks that lost their way out in the wilds and lead them back to safety. Collect a wide assortment of resources to rebuild and expand the village, and transform it into a safe haven for the Knacks! But be aware: If your lantern’s light fades while you’re out in the wild, you will become a lost one yourself, and the next Lightbearer will need to step into your shoes ..."

Tiny Roar is also developing Lou's Lagoon, which is distributed by rokaplay. While many other games companies are cutting jobs, Tiny Roar from Hamburg is still hiring. GamesMarkt recently interviewed Managing Director Maurice Hagelstein (GM Plus). He talked about the Aonic Group as a major shareholder, Germany as a games location, the latest release and what the future holds.
