Shueisha Games and developer Magnus Games Studio have officially revealed Wild Wild Eden, an open-world survival crafting RPG that was first teased under the working title Project Survival back in July 2023. The game is set to launch into Early Access on PC via Steam in Spring 2027.

Wild Wild Eden puts players on an unfamiliar and untamed planet after their home world is destroyed in a disaster. Survivors travel across the stars looking for a new place to live, and end up on a planet filled with floating landmasses, ancient ruins, and unusual creatures. Players will explore, gather resources, craft tools, and build their own settlements, while also uncovering the mystery behind what really happened to their old home and this new one.

A big focus of the game is the relationship between players and the monsters they encounter. Rather than treating them purely as tools for combat or labor, the developers want these creatures to feel like companions and family members, complete with their own personalities and behaviors. Players can tame monsters to ride them, fight alongside them, or help out around their base. There is also a breeding system that lets players pair creatures together to pass down traits and abilities to their offspring, aiming for specific combinations of stats and rare appearances over time. The game can be played solo or online with friends.

This is not Magnus Games Studio’s first attempt at a monster-raising game. The studio previously developed Re:Legend, a co-op monster-raising RPG that had a rocky road to release. Re:Legend raised over S$630,000 on Kickstarter in 2017, but ended up missing its original 2018 launch window by a wide margin. Once it reached Steam Early Access, the game ran into ongoing bugs, missing features, and repeated delays. When it finally left Early Access with a full 1.0 release, a number of backers felt the game was still rough around the edges and was missing content that had originally been promised.

In their reveal messages, Magnus Games Studio co-founders DC Gan and Welson Gan said the studio has been focused on monster-raising games since it was founded in 2017, drawing on their own experiences with pets and the outdoors. Shueisha Games producer Masakazu Kobayashi added that the switch to a different game engine during development was a major decision, but one that allowed the team to significantly improve the game’s visuals and core systems since its initial 2023 announcement.

With Wild Wild Eden now officially revealed, players will be watching to see whether the studio can avoid the issues that affected Re:Legend as it heads toward its Early Access launch in 2027.
