Hi Tamers! As the week ends, we return to share more info about the next game in the Temtem series, Temtem: Pioneers.
The Downbelow has been inhabited from way before you accidentally landed here, and so the life of these Temtem is very different to their counterparts up in the Airborne Archipelago. As the newcomer, it’s up to you to adapt to them, but you’ll soon discover this is going to be a piece of cake.
Untamed Tems in the Downbelow have different sets of stats, just like the ones from the Archipelago, but down here they also come in a variety of sizes. Will you be looking for the big ones or for the itty-bitty ones?
Each Temtem species displays different behaviors, with some being timid and completely harmless, to some that only seek to defend themselves when attacked, to the fierce ones who will attack on sight.
One thing is certain: the Tems you find in the wild won’t go quietly into your TemCard, but once they become your partners, a new world of interaction will open for you: to start off strong, you’ll be able to pet All Of Them. Let me repeat that: all Temtem in the Downbelow can be pet! Enjoy the cutest side of your favorite Tems by showering them with affection. They will also help you gather resources, rest with you in your home, and some can even become your mount to go places quicker!
Temtem in the Downbelow can also breed to create offspring with improved stats! Like we mentioned in the Combat and Mount updates, your goal is to have the best stats possible in your Tems. There will be many ways to approach this, and breeding better offspring is one of them. While this system is still not fully defined, we can already tell you that it is planned to be much kinder and simpler than its Temtem version, so that better results can be obtained with less effort and meticulous planning.
I know you’re all very eager to know if your favorite Tems are in the Downbelow, and we’re here to clear those doubts. We’ve already talked about how Digital Tems will not be in the Downbelow, since they are man-made creations and the technology doesn’t exist in this untouched world. The same goes for Anahir and Anatan. Having been engineered in the Archipelago, they won’t be around the Downbelow either.
As for the three breathtaking Mythical Temtem, they are tied to their roots in the Archipelago and so will remain in their unique lairs on the floating isles.
Other than these exceptions, every Temtem from the original game will be making a return in Temtem: Pioneers! To all our Temtem Tamers who’ve loved these Tems before, you’ll now be able to see them from all angles and sides. Discover all the hidden charms from the Temtem you already know and love, and enjoy a new generation of Tems to discover, pushing the total to over 200 Temtem in the Downbelow!
We hope you’re eager to step foot into this brave new world, Tamers!
And if you can, add Temtem: Pioneers to your Steam or EGS wishlist! It's the next best thing after backing the campaign :)
