The Wandering Villagealready had a great pitch: it’s a citybuilder where you rustle up your village on the back of a massive, lumbering rock-turtle-dragon creature. That pitch is getting even stronger with today’s update, as our giant friend (Onbu) is taking the village on his back (the human headlice) into the ocean. According to developers Stray Fawn Studio, the Ocean Update is the game’s biggest to date and adds new buildings, decorations, random events, and of course, the titular ocean biome.

Villagemanagement gamesusually put you in a loop, where you gather resources from the wider world, bring them back home, construct some useful stuff with said resources, and repeat. While you won’t be able to stop in the water - since Onbu’s legs aren’t long enough - that loop is still unbroken. You’ll instead be gathering resources from remote islands and explorable shipwrecks, and while Onbu is doggy paddling, the villagers can catch fish, gather kelp, aor collect seawater, which is useful for extracting salt and watering crops.
The Wandering Village’s early access build is onSteamfor $25/£20, though it’s currently discounted thanks to the Steam Sim Fest. Today also marks the game’s release on Xbox consoles andGame Pass. Those glowy jellyfish in the trailer have certainly convinced me, for one, to hop on the ride.
