Press release

Cozy Creature Collector Nimbit Frontier Launches in Steam Early Access on August 17

Raise lost creatures, build habitats, explore the Underwild, and release restored species back into the wild.

[June 29, 2026] - Megasploot is excited to announce that Nimbit Frontier, a cozy creature-collecting life sim about conservation, discovery, and small-town life, will launch in Steam Early Access on August 17, 2026.
 

In Nimbit Frontier, players arrive in the frontier town of Star's End and begin restoring lost species known as Nimbits. Instead of collecting creatures to battle, players care for them, build habitats suited to their needs, help them grow, and eventually release them into sanctuaries where they can thrive in the wild again.
 

Life on the frontier is not all quiet mornings and creature care. Players will explore the mysterious Underwild in roguelike expeditions, recover genetic fragments from Mimocks, gather rare resources, fish, collect museum specimens, upgrade tools, and get to know the townsfolk of Star's End. Between dives, players can decorate habitats, raise Nimbits, build relationships, and even pursue romance.
 

Nimbit Frontier launches in Steam Early Access on August 17, 2026. Wishlist the game now on Steam and prepare to help bring lost species back to the wild.
