Description:

Wanderlust Adventures is an online, free-roaming, action adventure RPG. Following the events of Wanderlust: Rebirth, aspiring adventurers are summoned to prevent the return of an ominous force, and restore unity to the world of Valandria. Join fellow heroes online, explore vast and deadly landscapes, and capture companions to aid you in your quest. Forge powerful items, salvage artifacts, and crush the souls of menacing foes, as you journey into the darkness to become a hero of legend.

History of Wanderlust Adventures:

After Wanderlust: Rebirth's launch on Steam, one of most common requests made by fans was for the addition of an open-world 'Adventure Mode'. Unfortunately, the implementation of an open-world mode posed serious challenges because of the linear, chapter-based design of Rebirth. So, in October of 2012, Matt and Jason decided that in order to create the best 'Adventure Mode' possible they'd have to make a new, stand-alone game.



Thus Wanderlust Adventures was born. They began working on Wanderlust Adventures in January of 2013 and it aims to be a fully non-linear game, delicately seasoned with all new gameplay mechanics that are specifically designed to enhance the open-world experience. Chucklefish will be publishing Wanderlust Adventures just as they did its predecessor, and Steam has already accepted the game for digital distribution. Wanderlust Adventures will be a Steam-only game and is launching for PC/Windows.

History of Yeti Trunk:

Yeti Trunk was originally founded as "Team Wanderlust" on December 24th, 2006. Matthew Griffin and Jason Gordy had been working on the first iteration of Wanderlust - titled Wanderlust: The Online Adventure - before rebooting the game design into what would later become Wanderlust: Rebirth.



Wanderlust: Rebirth was released outside of any distribution platform on June 14th, 2011. Later, when it was voted into the Top 100 Indie Games of 2011 (Indiedb.com), it drew the attention of Tiyuri, who would later found the now-popular indie studio Chucklefish. Chucklefish decided to make Wanderlust: Rebirth its first published title, pushing the game to Steam on July 27th, 2012.



After spending time incorporating a PvP mode into Wanderlust: Rebirth post-launch, Yeti Trunk spent a few months developing two iPhone games, Puckbang and Gubs (A Gamewright License). Wanderlust Adventures is their current project.
