Lately, any new pixel art game that includes farming is often compared to Stardew Valley. However, Emberville, an upcoming action RPG and farming simulator, is unique because it also draws inspiration from dark action games like Diablo. The developers describe it as a “monstrously ambitious” game that blends action-adventure with farming, aiming to offer a more complex experience than typical “farm and fight” games.
Emberville is the first game from independent developer Cygnus Cross. It’s been in development since 2023, and the first official trailer has just been released. Even before the trailer, the game has already gained a lot of attention, with over 145,000 wishlists. Now, fans of games like Stardew Valley and action RPGs can finally get a preview of Emberville, which will be available in Early Access this summer.
First Emberville Trailer Reveals Haunting Pixel Art World, Combat Mechanics, and Voice Acting
The first trailer for Emberville is here, giving us a look at the story and gameplay of this upcoming RPG. You’ll play in Emberville, a ruined town that needs your help to rebuild. The game features a simple but detailed combat system with lots of skills and challenging bosses. You’ll also get to restore the town itself, similar to Stardew Valley, by farming and more. A unique feature for a pixel art game, Emberville will have fully voiced characters, bringing the story to life.
Cygnus Cross has announced that well-known voice actors Alex Jordan (known for his work in Cyberpunk 2077 and The Alters) and Doug Cockle (The Witcher, Baldur’s Gate 3) will be voicing characters in their new project. The studio also hints that more popular voice actors will be revealed soon. You can get a sneak peek at the actors’ performances in the official Emberville trailer, available below.
If you enjoy games with a spooky, pixelated look, let’s take a closer look at Emberville. It’s set in a world that’s created randomly each time you play, offering huge levels filled with interesting things to discover, challenging enemies, and valuable loot. You’ll spend your time growing crops, collecting resources, and making new items, all while battling enemies in quick, exciting fights. Plus, you can unlock different skills and classes to customize your playstyle, focusing on things like weapons, combat, crafting, and resource gathering.
In the game, you’ll be able to customize your town however you like, placing houses, buildings, and decorations wherever you want. These items aren’t just for show – they can actually help you improve your skills, giving you an advantage when you venture out. Plus, Emberville has a smart user interface that changes based on what you’re doing, which should make managing your inventory much easier. I’m really excited to see how that works!
If you’re excited about this game, you won’t have to wait long to play it! The developers of Emberville have announced it will be available in Early Access on Steam in Summer 2026. You can add it to your wishlist now to get updates and be ready to play when it launches.
