Ghost Ship Publishing Announces ACORN: Seed Of Resistance For 2027
The announcement puts a rodent-led dark fantasy into Ghost Ship's publishing line with a 2027 PC release and an open playtest call, giving the auto-battler format another outlet while the game is still in testing.

Ghost Ship Publishing announced ACORN: Seed of Resistance, developed by Guidelight Games, at The Big Break Showcase 2026 on September 30. The single-player strategy-adventure RPG with roguelite elements uses auto-battle combat and roughly 15-minute missions, with auto-generated maps and team building through levels, skills, equipment and relics. It is scheduled for Steam on PC in 2027 with Japanese support, and playtest applications are open.
Ghost Ship Publishing will handle the title, with Guidelight Games developing. The reveal came during The Big Break Showcase 2026, the indie presentation hosted by Coffee Stain, which aired on September 30.
Missions start with a single hero and allies join as the run continues. Maps generate automatically and hold treasures, enemies and secret elements, so team composition matters against traps, ambushes and synergies. Between fights, players collect resources and set up camp, cooking food and posting guards.
