Netmarble has officially unveiled its brand-new cozy crafting adventure, Project Bloomwalker, at Gamescom 2025. Developed by Netmarble Neo, the game made its first public debut with an exclusive playable demo at the Xbox booth, giving attendees an early taste of its heartwarming world and unique gameplay.
What is Project Bloomwalker?
The name Bloomwalker translates to “one who walks while blooming flowers,” perfectly capturing the game’s central theme: restoring life with every step. Players take on the role of a Bloomwalker, a magical traveler whose footsteps heal tainted lands and bring vibrant life back to a wounded world.
With the help of adorable spirit companions called Oddlings, players will embark on an enchanting journey to:
- Explore uncharted landscapes ruined by a mysterious meteor crash.
- Cleanse polluted environments and restore nature’s balance.
- Gather resources for crafting and decorating their moving house.
- Bond with Oddling companions, each offering unique charm and support.
A Moving House Adventure
Unlike traditional crafting games where players are tied to a static base, Project Bloomwalker introduces a moving house system. This innovative mechanic gives players true nomadic freedom—allowing them to relocate their home anytime, discover breathtaking new vistas, and turn any setting into a personal sanctuary.
The moving house is more than just a base—it’s a symbol of the cozy, adventurous lifestyle that defines the game.
First Look: Unreal Engine 5 Gameplay
During the Xbox @ Gamescom 2025 Broadcast on August 20, Netmarble showcased a five-minute developer walkthrough video, offering fans their first look at the game running in Unreal Engine 5. The clip highlighted the lush art direction, diverse activities, and the magical sense of renewal that lies at the core of the Bloomwalker experience.
Project Bloomwalker is currently in active development at Netmarble Neo, with more details—including release platforms and a launch window—expected to be revealed in the coming months. Fans can follow the game’s official X (Twitter) account for the latest news and updates.
With its blend of cozy exploration, crafting freedom, and environmental storytelling, Project Bloomwalker has already caught the attention of players looking for the next big life-sim experience. Its focus on healing the land, nurturing Oddlings, and carrying a home wherever you go sets it apart from other titles in the genre.
As cozy crafting continues to rise in popularity, Project Bloomwalker might just blossom into Netmarble’s next breakout hit.
