Pixelshire, a charming farm-life RPG where you can build your dream town and cultivate friendships, is coming to PC on May 8, with PlayStation 5 and Switch versions expected later in 2025. I’m excited to see how this game unfolds—there’s something captivating about creating your own little paradise.
The developers at Kappa Bits and publisher Merge Games have shared a fascinating overview of what players can expect. In this sandbox-style RPG, you’ll manage resources and forge connections that deepen your gameplay experience. The “follow me” feature lets friends join you on adventures—how cool is that? It feels like having a squad with you as you gather materials and tackle challenges together!
