Well, this is a biggie. The big one. After many years, with every playtest, every bit of feedback, each late night/weekend of dev... we’ve finally got the date💛
📅 Release Date Revealed : The Wilds of Dacrima launches on May 12th, 2026
That’s right folkjs. In just over a week's time we are releasing our game. I think all of the Antler crew kinda feel in denial about it all, because it just feels so surreal.
This project has been such a huge part of our lives for so long. We've gone from our twenties into our thirties. We've got engaged to partners. We've said goodbye to people we love. We've moved into our first homes. We've met new life long friends because of this game. This project has been with us for so many huge milestones in each of our lives. Now we’re counting down the final days where this little project of ours goes out into the wild.
Official Trailer Release
We want to thank everyone in our community for sticking with this along the way. You've kept us going when sometimes it felt hard to stay the course. Your kind words, encouragement and support have meant the world to us at Antler. Thank you.
🎮 Steam Deck
We know this has been a request from a few of you. We’re happy to say that Wilds of Dacrima is now running on Steam Deck 💪
We’ve spent a bunch of time making sure the experience feels great on handheld (and improvements to performance), we’re really pleased with where it’s landed. There's still more for us to do though, we're working on getting this officially verified on Steam, so watch this space !
💛 Finally. Thank You.
We know it’s taken a while to get here. Longer than we ever thought or planned. Over the past six years, the three of us at Antler have spent our evenings, weekends and any spare moment we have to make this game. We’re really proud to say we made it and we've crafted what I hope feels like a really fun and enjoyable game for you all. We didn't want to let any of you down.
And we truly hope that when you finally get your hands on Wilds of Dacrima, you’ll feel proud of what we built together. Because this has never just been our game, it’s been our community's too.
Your feedback, support and your belief in us has genuinely meant everything.
We can’t wait for you to play it. Love, Stag x
