The enchanting farming life simulation game, reminiscent of Studio Ghibli’s artistry, titled Starsand Island, is set to release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch this winter, in addition to its pre-announced PC version (Steam). The development team at Seed Lab has announced this exciting news. Furthermore, they are planning to start a Kickstarter campaign shortly to aid the game’s ongoing creation.

Richardo Wang, producer from Seed Lab, expressed immense enthusiasm in announcing the return of ‘Starsand Island’ and unveiling a fresh trailer during the initial Galaxies event. This project holds significant importance to our team, and we can hardly contain our anticipation for gamers to delve deeper into the universe we’re crafting. We believe that Galaxies offers an ideal platform to reveal what lies ahead for ‘Starsand Island.’

Golton Gao from Seed Lab commented, “We’ve put a tremendous amount of affection into creating an experience that focuses on comfort, imagination, and community. Starsand Island is the type of game we yearned for during our childhood – a tranquil sanctuary where players can freely express themselves, investigate at their leisure, and construct something significant, either individually or with companions.
