Fae Farm is coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2023.

Fae Farm is a relaxing blend of farming and RPG exploration

If you played Phoenix Labs‘ monster-hunting game Dauntless, you’ll be surprised to learn the company’s next game is a farming role-playing game called Fae Farm.

You can still take a whack and things and fight them if you wish, but this title is about fairytale farming. I saw it at a Nintendo indies event at the Game Developers Conference, and it reminded me of Stardew Valley. Game director Isaac Epp and Andy Burt walked me through an abbreviated version of the demo.
