A new retro-inspired monster-taming RPG titled Creature Keeper has been announced for release 8th of May 2025 on Steam with a Switch port in the works. The game has been developed by Fervir Games and published by Grafitti Games. Creature Keeper will feature retro-styled pixel art alongside dozens of loveable creatures to capture and befriend. A new trailer was released to accompany the news as well as confirmation that a new creature will be unveiled each day on the developer’s Twitter/X account.
In a statement, Graffiti Games said. “Today’s announcement is a full-circle moment for solo developer Fervir and Graffiti Games, having originally revealed their partnership at the MIX Showcase in 2022. A true labour of love, the game started as a Kickstarter campaign that raised over $50k from over 1,800 backers. The game has built a notable community since, having been featured in showcases like The MIX, Future of Play, Tiny Teams, and most notably the 2023 OTK Games Expo, where Creature Keeper took home the “Staff Pick” prize and a $25k development grant from the OTK team.”
