Well Dweller, the next game from the single developer behind Crypt Custodian, will launch for PS5 on 22nd September 2026. That’ll be one week after Marvel’s Wolverine, five days after Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, and two days before Control Resonant and Silent Hill: Townfall.

I wish Kyle Thompson, the single developer, the very best of luck.

This is another Metroidvania undertaking that invites you to play as a bird called Glimmer, who’s armed with a single matchstick. “Venture into a whimsical but morbid landscape and battle terrifying beasts while gaining new abilities and expanding the world. Discover secrets, mysteries, and the riddles that rot in the underbelly of this wretched queendom.”

After playing Crypt Custodian, I’m confident Well Dweller will be a strong experience with satisfying Metroidvania elements. That’s one of the things I loved about Crypt Custodian, which I awarded an 8/10 in my PS5 review two years ago.
