During the Annapurna Interactive Showcase, developer Ivy Road and publisher Annapurna unveiled a new trailer for Wanderstop, a narrative-driven game about tea and transformation. The game is set to launch on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Steam on March 11, 2025.
Players can get an early taste of Wanderstop with a demo available now as part of Steam Next Fest. The new trailer offers a glimpse into the serene life at the tea shop, featuring the charming pufflins eager to sample whatever Alta, the former fighting champion turned tea shop manager, is brewing.
Wanderstop is a cozy, narrative-centric game where players take on the role of Alta, a fallen fighter managing a tea shop in a magical forest. Despite her reluctance, Alta must tend to the customers who pass through, growing and harvesting ingredients for tea, and mixing them in a unique tea-making contraption. Along the way, players will interact with various travelers, learning their stories and crafting the perfect tea for each one.
Alta struggles with her new role, feeling out of place as a shopkeeper when she sees herself as a fighter. This internal conflict adds depth to the game’s narrative, making it a compelling journey of self-discovery and change.
