Cozy game fans should mark their calendars—Collector’s Cove, the charming new indie adventure from German studio VoodooDuck, is officially setting sail for Steam Next Fest 2026 with a freshly updated demo running from February 23 to March 2.
Blending relaxing farming mechanics with ocean exploration and an adorable dinosaur companion, Collector’s Cove aims to deliver a wholesome, feel-good experience for players looking to unwind while discovering new horizons.
A Cozy Adventure That Travels With You
Collector’s Cove offers a unique twist on the cozy farming genre by placing players on a floating farm built atop a ship. Instead of settling down in one place, your home moves with you across the open sea.
As you sail through uncharted waters, you’ll explore new islands, cultivate crops, fish for rare species, and slowly fill out the Collector’s Compendium—all while journeying toward the prestigious title of Named Collector.
By your side is a huggable dinosaur companion who helps along the way and can be customized to match your playstyle and personality.
Updated Steam Next Fest Demo Launches February 23
For Steam Next Fest, VoodooDuck is rolling out an updated Collector’s Cove demo, giving players a polished look at the game’s cozy mechanics and progression systems.
One of the most player-friendly features is that demo progress will carry over into the full game, allowing early players to get a meaningful head start before launch. Farming, collecting, and exploration completed during the demo won’t go to waste once the full release arrives.
A full release date and platform announcement is expected very soon.
New Trailer and Release Date Reveal Set for February 19
While the currently available demo trailer reflects an earlier version of the game, fans can expect a fresh reveal soon. A brand-new Collector’s Cove trailer will debut at The MIX Indie Fan Fest on February 19, where the developers will also unveil the game’s official release date.
The updated trailer will showcase the latest improvements and refinements made ahead of Steam Next Fest.
