Since you are…
HIIIII Tamers! Veeeery exciting update today because we’re going to talk about creating a home away from home: building and housing in the Downbelow. Building is another feature we’ve spent a lot of time designing and trying to perfect, so it's definitely a big leg of Temtem: Pioneers, even if it’s less prominent than exploration and combat. Picture this: you just fell from an airship, no peopl…

Hi Tamers! As the week ends, we return to share more info about the next game in the Temtem series, Temtem: Pioneers.

Fossil Tems will be 3 entirely new Temtem, each with an evolution for a total of 6 new Tems.

Let's jump into some of the most asked questions about Temtem: Pioneers! Is this game Temtem 2? While Temtem 2 is not entirely out of the question, Temtem: Pioneers is not meant to be Temtem 2.

We don’t…
