Wyldheart, a tabletop inspired co-op action RPG from Wayfinder Studios, is now seeking funding through Kickstarter as development continues toward Early Access.

The campaign is targeting €150,000 (roughly $177,000) in funding, with the goal of securing an Early Access release later in 2026 and a full launch planned for 2027.

Developed by a team of industry veterans, the project is already gaining traction among RPG fans looking for cooperative experiences built around smaller group play.

A Co-Op RPG Designed for Flexible Game Nights

At its core, Wyldheart focuses on drop-in co-op gameplay for up to four players, with systems designed to accommodate different schedules and playstyles.

Players explore the fallen kingdom of Caerwyn through bite-sized campaigns that average around 10 hours of story and additional optional content.

Key systems include:

  • Drop-in and drop-out multiplayer with shared progression
  • Scaling difficulty based on party size
  • Cloud shared saves that allow groups to continue without all players present

This structure is built to mirror the flexibility of tabletop sessions, where players can join or leave without disrupting the overall campaign.

Tabletop Inspiration Shapes Gameplay

Wyldheart draws heavily from tabletop RPG traditions, with systems that emphasize player choice and character identity.

Players can select from multiple fantasy ancestries and 19 different backgrounds, all feeding into a classless progression system that allows for highly customizable builds.

Combat blends melee, ranged, and magic options, while exploration includes:

  • Dungeon crawling and rumor based quest discovery
  • Resource gathering, crafting, and cooking
  • Dynamic world interactions and evolving towns

This design aims to recreate the feeling of a shared tabletop adventure in a digital format.

Beta Access and Development Roadmap

The Kickstarter campaign also offers beta access starting May 15, 2026, giving early backers a chance to shape development before launch.
