Indie Adventure 1348 Ex Voto Sets March 12 Release on PS5 and PC After Dropping Xbox

The small Italian team canceled the Xbox build to concentrate resources, leaving PS5 as the lone console alongside PC.

Overview

  • Publisher Dear Villagers and developer Sedleo set a March 12, 2026 launch on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store at a $24.99 price point, with a Deluxe edition that includes a digital art book.
  • Sedleo said it canceled the Xbox Series version to "focus the studio’s efforts on delivering the best experience possible for PC and PlayStation," making the title a de facto PS5 console exclusive.
  • A new story trailer fueled online interest in a presumed romance between protagonist Aeta and Bianca, while drawing criticism from some commenters over historical representation and the character’s appearance.
  • Set in 1348 Italy, the game follows Aeta, a young knight-errant voiced by Alby Baldwin, on a quest to find Bianca, voiced by Jennifer English, after bandits raid their village.
  • Combat is described as cinematic and inspired by Historical European Martial Arts, featuring performance-capture animation, one- and two-handed stances, and skill books that unlock new combos.
