Xbox Game Pass fans, get ready for an exhilarating new addition hitting the service this August! The highly anticipated game, Herdling, is officially set to launch on day one, and it has just been revealed on the service's 'coming soon' page.

Mark your calendars for August 21, 2025, as Herdling makes its debut on both Xbox Series X|S and PC. Developed by the talented creators at Okomotive, known for their previous hit FAR, this indie adventure promises to take players on a breathtaking journey through a vibrant yet fallen world.

In Herdling, players will take on the role of a guardian, tasked with guiding a group of adorable creatures known as Calicorns to the pinnacle of majestic mountains. This engaging, wordless adventure challenges players to navigate stunning landscapes, ranging from misty forests to serene snowy plateaus, all while uncovering a story of survival, trust, and companionship.

Achievements for the game have already been unveiled, signaling a mix of challenges for players. Expect to complete tasks such as successfully finishing the game without losing any Calicorns, taming these charming beings, and collecting harnesses—providing an enticing mix of straightforward and tricky objectives.

As an avid gamer myself, I can't wait to experience Herdling with my son when it joins the Xbox Game Pass library. Will you embark on this charming quest alongside the lovable Calicorns? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
