Mirthwood Post-Launch Plans Revealed

Publisher V Publishing and developer Bad Ridge Games revealed the post-launch plans for open-world life-sim RPG Mirthwood. These plans include additional content, PC modding support, co-op multiplayer, and more.

Mirthwood will launch with in-game festivals, which come with special activities and quests. Some of these festivals will trigger only at specific times during the in-game year. Meanwhile, a PC modding support will be available after the game’s launch, while a co-op multiplayer update is set to release in 2025, allowing players to play with others locally and online. A free content update will add new dynamics to the familial relationships, with players being able to have a child with their chosen spouse. The companies also plan to release both paid and free additional content, which include season-related updates, new enemies, new items, and more.

Mirthwood puts players in the role of a refugee from a war-torn continent, and sees them select their own path through non-linear progression in an open world. Available activities and goals include building up a homestead complete with a farm, which helps generate produce to sell to the local town or to trade with others, and exploring forests or ruins while taking on formidable creatures for additional resources. The game includes an NPC relationship system leading to rewards, quests, and potentially romance. Mirthwood is set to launch for PC via Steam on September 11, 2024.
