BerserkBoy Games has announced Waveling Island, a creature-collecting adventure set on a hand-drawn pixel-art island. Its reveal appeared in the October 20 ID@Xbox showcase, with Xbox Wire listing an early 2027 window for Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Players arrive on the island with a backpack and set out to collect and train Wavelings, gather materials and build a home. The developer's Steam page describes a world where creatures are visible as players explore and encounters happen in the same space.
A battle without a separate screen
According to BerserkBoy Games, Wavelings roam the island and battles begin where players find them, without a separate battle screen or random encounters. The Steam description says battles run in real time, with creatures fighting automatically while a frequency bar fills and lets the player choose an attack.

That setup keeps exploration and combat visually connected. In the released screenshots, the same sandy beach and grassy terrain frame both the character and nearby creatures. This is an observation about the images, not a claim about the team's intentions.
An island to make your own
The developer describes parties of up to five Wavelings and customizable moves. Materials gathered on excursions can be used for crafting, decorations and houses for island residents, who also offer quests and stories.

The screenshots pair broad patches of sand and grass with small details such as flowers, surfboards and palms. Together with the visible creatures, those details give the tropical setting a playful everyday character alongside its battles.
What happens next
Xbox Wire lists the game for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC in early 2027. The Steam page says coming soon and does not give a specific date. BerserkBoy Games is listed there as both developer and publisher.
For players drawn to creature collecting, the reveal offers an early look at how an explorable pixel-art setting can remain part of the action when a fight starts.
