A sci-fi monster-taming third-person shooter
Voidling Bound is developed by Hatchery Games, a Canadian indie studio founded by ex-Skylanders developers from Beenox. You play as a Space Wrangler using neural-link technology to directly control alien creatures called Voidlings in a third-person action game — not turn-based.
It launched June 9, 2026 on Steam (PC) at $24.99, with console versions (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2) planned for later. A free demo is available on Steam.
Confirmed features (from Steam store page and developer interviews):
A free Steam demo is available with 2 playable Voidlings (Kwipeck and Gilick). Try it before buying — the demo gives you a solid feel for combat, evolution, and the core loop.
The demo displays the lizard starter as "Glick" — the official Species Overview video (June 1, 2026) uses Gilick as the corrected name. Both refer to the same Voidling.
If you're new, follow this order. Don't jump to endgame systems first.
