Independent Italian studio Sedleo and French publisher Dear Villagers have announced that 1348 Ex Voto will release on March 12th, 2026 on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store) and PlayStation 5for $24.99/£21.99 for the Standard Edition, and $29.99/£25.99 for the Deluxe Edition which includes a digital artbook. The Xbox version previously announced was cancelled in order to focus the studio’s efforts on delivering the best experience possible for PC and PlayStation.
The action-adventure game tells the story of Aeta (Alby Baldwin) surviving her way through Medieval Italy to find her closest companion, Bianca (Jennifer English).Created by a team of seasoned indie developers, the game will see Aeta, a young knight-errant, encounter a series of trials on her path to knighthood and ultimate goal of saving Bianca. Along the way, she will face fanatical zealots, roaming bandits, and battle-hardened mercenaries – all against the backdrop of a virulent plague that threatens to tear apart an already fragile society.
“Everything in our story is personal: it’s about moralities, ambitions, and choices. Who we aspire to be and who we are allowed to become. Whether our means to fight for it or against it justify our end. We hope those themes will resonate with 1348 Ex Voto players.” – Tom Oceano, Game Director and Fabiola Martelli, Executive Producer.
Combat and exploration lie at the core of 1348 Ex Voto. Sedleo has carefully collaborated with industry experts to craft a combat system inspired by Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), all while recreating the beauty of a rural 14th-century Italy.
