Skyrim's lead designer is just part of the RPG royalty bringing this sandbox world filled with anthropomorphic animals to life

Hawthorn appearing in the Future Games Show Spring Showcase 2025.

Skyrim and Stardew Valley collide with the world of Redfall in Hawthorn, a sandbox RPG from a team of experienced developers that just showed off new gameplay footage during the Future Games Show Spring Showcase.

Hawthorn is a sandbox RPG that can be played either solo or in co-op. It's inspired by Victorian-era European fairytales, and drops you into a beautiful, outsized world where you'll play as an anthropomorphic animal. Running around as an otter, mouse, or owl means that you might be just a little small for the world you inhabit, but that just offers some unique ways to interact with your surroundings.
