This past September we were all invited to the “magical and cozy co-op farm sim” Fae Farm, a new game from Dauntless developer Phoenix Labs that promised all of the comfy and lighthearted sub-genre trappings in its initial reveal. At the time, the game simply noted a launch window of sometime in the second quarter of 2023, but both the game’s Nintendo Switch page and Twitter account now herald a release window of spring 2023.
Much of the information about the game itself hasn’t really been elaborated on, but the game’s Twitter account has been particularly active, and Phoenix Labs creative director Katie De Sousa penned a letter about the game’s creation, from its early concepts to internal testing to the expansion of the team meant to make the game a reality. Additionally, the game is set to be a part of the Wholesome Games’ Wholesome Snack showcase on Thursday, December 8th, at 4:00 p.m. EST.
Is anyone hungry? My friends and I will take part in Wholesome Snack: @thegameawards Edition! RSVP to the banquet and join us: https://t.co/ObLVJMfH7P
