News: A new adventure featuring a vibrant open world is heading to the current gen consoles next month.

Yonder: The Cloud Chronicles is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 next month. Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles set on the beautiful, vibrant island of Gemea. A lush frontier with eight distinct environments ranging from sunny and tropical beaches to frigid, snow-capped summits. Each location has its own flora and fauna, along with changing seasons and a day-night cycle. But Gemea is not as perfect as it seems. The mysterious Murk has enshrouded the land and its people are in despair.

As the hero of Gemea, you must seek out the hidden and whimsical creatures known as Sprites. Use their power to clear the Murk and restore nature’s beauty. As you explore Gemea you can barter, discover unique materials to craft with, befriend the adorable wildlife and even create your own working farm.

By contributing to the island with skills such as farming, crafting, cooking, fishing and brewing, relationships can be built with the locals, who offer everything from resources to a new farm as rewards.

Yonder offers a world to lose yourself in; a world filled with the wonder of discovery and the spirit of adventure.

Some of the key features include:

A vibrant open world full of things to discover and places to explore

Set your own pace...trail blaze across the world or settle down for a spot of quiet fishing and farming. Extensive customer customization.

Master professions like carpenter, chef, tailor and more to help the residents of Gemea

Befriend and adopt endearing creatures
