FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bandung, Indonesia, August 18, 2025 – What if the skills of a blacksmith were not used for war and violence, often depicted in classic fantasy tales, but instead to build a peaceful life? This is the question that inspired Smith’s Chronicles, the latest cozy life sim from Arsanesia, which today debuts its first trailer and launches its official Steam page.
Smith’s Chronicles invites players to step into the role of a young blacksmith who is called back by the mayor to their quiet hometown of Grandall. Once a thriving village, Grandall has grown desolate as its residents slowly left. With their blacksmithing skills honed at the academy, players must forge essential tools for villagers, rebuild the town, bring prosperity to its people, create a welcoming home for refugees, and restore Grandall to its former glory.
Key features of Smith’s Chronicles include:
- Crafting: Forge a wide variety of tools and weapons for Grandall’s residents, from smelting and forging to assembling finished items.
- Resource Gathering: Collect the finest materials by mining, logging, hunting, and fishing to create high-quality equipment.
- Blacksmith Shop: Sell your craft in your own Blacksmith Shop. Manage stock, display items, and decorate the store to your liking.
- Relationship Building: Befriend the townsfolk, pursue romance with your chosen partner, and unlock unique stories from the diverse races inhabiting Grandall.
- Character and Workshop Customization: Personalize your character and workshop with rich customization options. Express your style and proudly showcase your finest works.
Arsanesia unveiled the debut trailer, highlighting the game’s unique blacksmithing theme.
“Smith’s Chronicles offers a fresh concept. Blacksmiths are usually associated with weapons and war, yet in reality, their craft was equally vital in creating everyday tools, driving technological innovation, and even producing works of art. In this game, those skills are reimagined to focus on building and breathing new life into a community, bringing a cozy perspective to the blacksmith’s role in a beautiful medieval fantasy world,” said Adam Ardisasmita, CEO of Arsanesia.
Gamers can now add Smith’s Chronicles to their Steam wishlist to receive notifications and stay updated ahead of its release.
