We’re excited to share our latest news and updates with you all:
In case you haven’t seen it on the Steam page yet: There’s a new gameplay trailer available for HERDLING! In it, we reveal that the game will be released in Summer 2025.
Following the new trailer’s release, there was also a bit of media attention that’s definitely worth a look if you’d like to learn a bit more about the game:
