Winter Burrow, one of the most adorable titles shown during this year's Summer Game Fest yet, debuted today - and it's a wholesome survival experience in which you play as a little mouse.
Noodlecake Studios and Pine Creek Games revealed their upcoming survival game, Winter Burrow, during today's Xbox Games Showcase - an emotional adventure that places you in the paws of a small mouse hoping to rebuild their childhood burrow and survive the harsh wintery winds. When the brave rodent journeys back to that old home, they sadly find it in ruins and discover that their aunt is missing.
Not much else is known about Noodlecake Studios and Pine Creek Games' soon-to-come survival game, but the few details thus far are exciting. Winter Burrow's developers say that players will be able to do some cozy game essentials: "Explore, gather resources, bake pies, knit warm sweaters, and meet the locals!" It sounds like the protagonist mouse will have quite a bit to do outside of building and searching.
The adorable rodent and its home are also fully customizable, with the dev explaining that fans can "choose a path that fits your play style." The trailer features another big surprise, too - Winter Burrow isn't all that far away and is set to release early next year, dropping sometime in 2025. The indie gem is coming to both PC and Xbox and will also be available to play via a Game Pass subscription.
