Wombat Brawler has confirmed development of Wild n Chill for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, the developer told Nintendo Everything.
No release window has been announced.
The title is presented as a follow-up to Cast n Chill, which the developer says is available on Nintendo’s platforms.
Wild n Chill shifts the series from water to land, placing players in a cozy wilderness survival setting inspired by Canadian and Alaskan backcountry.
According to the developer overview, the game centers on hunting, fishing, foraging, crafting and cabin building, playable solo or in online co-op for up to four players.
In journalistic terms, Wombat Brawler describes Wild n Chill as a cozy survival experience focused on building and collaboration rather than competitive combat.
The team emphasizes that players will manage core survival needs such as food, water and energy while interacting with wildlife and the environment.
The developer also highlights social play: teams of up to four can divide tasks like hunting, fishing and gathering to sustain their camps.
Key verified features from the developer overview include:
- Survival systems: players must maintain food, water and energy while hunting, fishing, gathering and trapping.
- Online co-op: up to four players can play together to build and survive.
- Building and crafting: construct shelters, cabins, smokehouses, woodsheds, traps, food stores and hunting hides.
- Diverse regions: the game world contains 11 distinct regions including coastlines, marshes, rainforests and snowy peaks.
- Wildlife and journal progression: players can track over 40 animal species and catch more than 20 fish species.
- Companion mechanics: a dog companion helps retrieve game and detect danger.
Wombat Brawler frames the tone of Wild n Chill as relaxed and player-paced, from erecting simple lean-tos to creating elaborate cabins.
The developer also indicated the presence of eccentric NPCs in the wilderness who may trade items if approached with the right supplies.
An announcement trailer has been released by the developer to showcase gameplay and environments; interested players are directed to view the trailer for an early look.
While fans await a release date, Cast n Chill remains available from the developer as its current title.
