Dot-Pixel Open-World RPG World of Anterra Passes 150,000 Steam Wishlists
The wishlist milestone arrived without active marketing, which signals that the 'living world' NPC concept is drawing players on its own while the small team stays heads-down on development ahead of the 2026 release window.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Developer 81monkeys announced that World of Anterra, an open-world RPG rendered in dot-pixel art, has surpassed 150,000 Steam wishlist registrations. The game features NPCs who live their own lives, non-linear branching quests, and party-based battles. The team said it is fully focused on development and cannot afford time for marketing. The game is scheduled for release in 2026.
The announcement came through a Steam news post on August 25, where the team called the figure another major milestone. The wording matters because the developer is not spending time promoting the game: the post states the team is fully focused on development and cannot afford time for marketing.
World of Anterra is an open-world RPG where NPCs eat, work, socialize, and pursue hobbies, and where conversation includes a system that lets players input their own questions. Quests branch non-linearly, and combat is party-based with enemy weaknesses and environmental gimmicks. Camping, crafting, building, resource gathering, and fishing round out the systems.
