Cozy wizard life simulation game Aether Wizard Life launches in fall 2028 for PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC - Gematsu
Kinetic Publishing will publish Vonder Games-developed cozy wizard life simulation game Aether Wizard Life when it launches for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC via Steam in fall 2028, the companies announced.
“We were inspired by the indie games we love to play—Spiritfarer, Stardew Valley, DAVE THE DIVER—as well as the beautiful animation of Studio Ghibli,” said Vonder Games producer Shin Wang in a press release. “With Aether Wizard Life, we wanted to create a truly magical world for players to get lost in, where they can choose exactly how they want to spend each day, and can truly feel like they belong.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Kinetic Publishing:
In Aether Wizard Life, players take on the role of a young apprentice mage in the haunted town of Starfall. Waking up each morning in a customizable walking castle, players are free to choose what tasks to take on each day, whether that’s growing magical crops, caring for exotic creatures, venturing into deep and twisting dungeons to fight monsters, or talking with the townsfolk to discover new side quests and problems to solve.
Not all is well in the world of Aether Wizard Life, however. The town of Starfell is a place that’s haunted, both by spirits of the dead, and by the machinations of a secret organization set on kidnapping wizards and burning them at the stake. Dive head-first into the mystery surrounding this clandestine group, finding clues and solving the riddle at the heart of the town.
Players can completely customize their wizard’s appearance, choose from several schools of magic to learn, and even romance and marry one of twenty datable NPCs, making sure each player has an experience that feels entirely unique and personal to them.
Mastery of Magic – Discover over 30 wizard skills such as spellcasting, weapon crafting, summoning, elemental combat, rune crafting, and even time manipulation.
Discover Starfell – Explore a haunted town filled with magic, mystery, and romance.
Move-In Castle – Players can build their very own walking castle, customising its rooms and appearance to aid their magical endeavors.
Romance is Magic – Meet a selection of dateable NPCs that players can woo, and even marry.
Your Day, Your Way – Choose from a wide selection of activities including botany, animal care, potion brewing, tavern management, dungeon exploration, and more!
Help the Town – Fulfill requests from the townsfolk to help them rebuild their lives, all while attempting to solve the mystery of the missing mages.
