Foreign Gnomes, the inventive studio behind the celebrated Everhood series, has officially announced Everhood Hunters, set for release on Nintendo Switch in 2027.
Continuing their tradition of blending musical gameplay with surreal storytelling, the developers are expanding the boundaries of the franchise, introducing roguelite mechanics and cooperative play for the first time.
Everhood Hunters marks a significant evolution for the series.
The upcoming title promises to bring the acclaimed rhythmic combat of Everhood and Everhood 2 into a new roguelite format, adding cooperative gameplay and endlessly replayable runs.
Players begin by selecting from four unique characters, each with distinct playstyles that cater to different strategic preferences.
Setting out on a quest to unravel and seal the root of all evil, players will face a series of musical battles that challenge both their timing and tactical prowess.
Integral to its gameplay, Everhood Hunters features a robust soundtrack, boasting 70 new compositions alongside fan-favorite tracks from earlier titles in the Everhood universe.
This musical tapestry underpins dynamic battles where players gather energy to unleash ever-more powerful counterattacks.
As players successfully store notes without interruption, their offensive capabilities scale, delivering greater impact with each subsequent strike.
Additionally, defeating enemies rewards players with souls that can be used to unlock valuable items and equipment, further bolstering their chances as they push deeper into each run.
Discussing the team’s ambitions, Foreign Gnomes co-founder Chris Nordgren expressed the personal significance of this project.
"In many respects, Everhood Hunters is the realization of the game we've always aspired to create," Nordgren stated.
He highlighted the duo's journey of growth throughout the development process, emphasizing how their combined ideas and experiences resulted in something larger than he and Jordi could envision alone.
Nordgren added, "It's not just about refining the battles; the fundamental spirit of Everhood’s unique and surreal storytelling truly thrives in Everhood Hunters.
We are excited to see players come together to explore the universe we’ve built."
Everhood Hunters is scheduled for a global digital release on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch in 2027.
As anticipation builds, the title stands poised to captivate series veterans and newcomers alike, with its compelling blend of rhythm-driven combat, co-op gameplay, and inventive roguelite progression.
