"Into a Hearth Yonder: PC Release Announced"

If you’re a fan of cozy adventures and creature collecting, you’ll want to keep an eye on Into a Hearth Yonder, the upcoming MMO-lite from developer Sway State Games. Announced recently, this charming title is currently in development for PC and expected to launch sometime next year.

In Into a Hearth Yonder, players will journey through the vibrant world of Viteria—either alone or alongside friends—accompanied by a devoted group of automata: adorable, Tamagotchi-like companions that assist with various aspects of gameplay. These little helpers can boost combat performance, aid in farming, fishing, mining, and even support crafting, making them essential partners in your exploration.

“We thought it would be fun to embody player stats and skills as cute, Tamagotchi-like automata,” explained Sway State founder Chris O’Kelly. “You take joy in collecting and caring for them, and in return, they enhance your exploration of Viteria, improve your quality of life, and empower you to lean fully into your favorite playstyle.”

The game’s vision centers around a relaxing, exploratory experience. As O’Kelly described, “We aimed to lay out a cozy table of adventure, to explore at your own pace, with plenty of building, crafting, exploration, magic.” The team wants to offer a kind of ‘survival’ game—but without the stress. Think of it as a worry-free escape into a rich, magical world.

What makes Into a Hearth Yonder even more exciting is its development team, which includes veterans from acclaimed titles such as Divinity: Original Sin, Dying Light 2, Harold Halibut, and Horizon: Call of the Mountain. Their combined experience brings a strong promise of quality and creativity to the project.

If this sounds like the kind of peaceful yet magical adventure you’ve been waiting for, consider adding Into a Hearth Yonder to your Steam wishlist today.
