Garden Souls has a free demo on Steam as of October 2026, ahead of a planned full release on Steam, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox. A public playtest ran in early September 2026, and wishlist sign-ups have passed 10,000.
Statera Studio announced Garden Soul in July 2026 through Vsoo Games and Nuntius Games, describing a roguelite 2D action game with dot-pixel combat: dashes, double jumps, wall jumps, and combo linking. Players pick one of four garden princesses, each with unique techniques and abilities, and build runs through techniques, attributes, allies, and magic. Japanese language support was planned, and the release was scheduled for Steam.
By October 2026 the project had a demo on Steam, now titled Garden Souls. The demo is free, includes part of the story, and adds elements drawn from feedback gathered during a public playtest in early September. The full release is planned for Steam, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox.
Two things changed between the announcement and the demo. The release target widened from Steam alone to four platforms. And the scope of the public test moved from a playtest to a downloadable demo, with more than 10,000 wishlist sign-ups recorded. Statera Studio's prior work is Pocket Bravery, which was nominated at the Game Awards 2023.
