Berlin, Germany, June 8, 2025: German indie studio Randwerk has officially announced its next title, WANDERBURG, during the PC Gaming Show. Launching in 2026 on Steam, WANDERBURG is a minimalist open-world roguelike where players control a fortress on wheels in a brutal ecosystem of mobile castles. The game is available to wishlist on Steam now.
In WANDERBURG, you pilot a roaming castle that devours everything in its path. To survive the onslaught of rival fortresses, arm your castle with flamethrowers, cannons, wizard towers, explosive mines, and all kinds of wild contraptions. The combat is fast and satisfying, featuring active abilities and real driving physics. As you defeat enemies and bosses, you'll unlock new modules and grow your castle into a towering fortress of destruction.
Set in a world inspired by Mortal Engines and Howl’s Moving Castle, WANDERBURG is full of bizarre, anachronistic tech such as knights on motorbikes and steam-powered siege engines. Explore vibrant biomes, upgrade your build in a survivors-style progression system, and outgrow the competition. But be wary; there's always a bigger fish.
