Wild Wild Eden

Wild Wild Eden is an open-world survival craft RPG from Shueisha Games and Malaysian developer Magnus Games Studio, due for PC early access on Steam in spring 2027. It was playable in demo form at three 2026 events: Bilibili World in July, gamescom in August, and Tokyo Game Show in October.

Synthesized from 4 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 9

Wild Wild Eden had a working title for three years. It was first shown as PROJECT SURVIVAL at BitSummit in July 2023, then carried no announced name until July 2026, when Shueisha Games and Magnus Games Studio announced it as Wild Wild Eden. The rename came with a change of development engine and an overhaul of visuals and content, so the 2023 bit and the 2026 build are not the same production.

Shueisha Games has since used the game as a regular part of its event slate. It appeared in the publisher's four-title playable lineup at gamescom 2026, which opened August 26 in Cologne, alongside UN:Me, BAKUDO, and Chronoscript: The Endless End. Before that, Bilibili World 2026 hosted the world premiere playable demo in July. In October, the Malaysia Pavilion at Tokyo Game Show 2026 demoed the opening loop: gathering wood and stone, building a workbench, raising a base.

The taming system is the point the developers keep returning to. A Dream Bottle puts a creature to sleep, and taming continues through petting and feeding, with care required on an ongoing basis rather than one-time capture. The stated aim is monster bonding rather than utility, and the developers tie the approach to co-founder Dc Gan's interest in animals and camping. Monsters that are tamed can be ridden, fight alongside the player, or work base tasks such as farming. Crossbreeding same-species monsters passes down traits and abilities, with rare color variants possible.

The world is an uncharted planet called Eden, settled by survivors of a destroyed home planet who find dark secrets about their past there. Bases can be built anywhere, including atop waterfalls or inside volcanoes. The game supports solo play and online multiplayer. Early access on PC via Steam is set for spring 2027.
