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.","whyItMatters":"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.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe announcement came through a Steam news post on August 25, where the team called the figure another major milestone.

That makes the number entirely organic, and it raises a practical question for the 2026 launch: whether an audience built without paid promotion actually buys when the game ships.","newsletterBlurb":"81monkeys' dot-pixel open-world RPG World of Anterra passed 150,000 Steam wishlist registrations, announced via a Steam news post on August 25.
