'Delphinium', a farming and life simulation game featuring beautiful pixel art, has announced its publisher and is slated for a 2027 release.

Delphinium is a game developed by Australian indie studio SinaDev, which began development in early 2021 and successfully completed a crowdfunding campaign. On the 11th, at the 2026 Game Developers Conference (GDC), the team announced its Xbox release and the selection of Serenity Forge as its publisher, and the Steam store page has also been registered. The developers also showcased an early demo at the GDC venue.

The game is set in a remote mountain village with a population of nine, located on the outskirts of a fictional country not found on any map. The protagonist, Haiyan, previously followed her brother, who led a national reconstruction movement, but lost everything after he was executed. The story follows the protagonist as she returns to the village, filled with regret and conflict, where she interacts with residents, builds relationships, and chooses her future.

Players will perform various daily activities, ranging from crop cultivation to fishing, mining, and cleaning the village. You can discover over 200 recipes and craft furniture to decorate the village, with mini-games incorporated into various tasks. The protagonist possesses five core abilities: stamina, dexterity, intelligence, luck, and communication. By completing daily tasks to gain experience and improve these abilities, you can handle more complex work efficiently.

Relationships with villagers directly impact the progression of the story. By identifying hidden connections between characters, you can unlock new dialogues and change the relationships between the characters. Each resident has unique lines and reacts positively or negatively to gifts. The player's choices will influence the ending of the story, which consists of four chapters.

Delphinium will be released on PC and Xbox in 2027, and it is currently unknown whether it will support the Korean language.
