Crema Announces Temtem: Pioneers, an Open-World Survival Spinoff, and Launches Kickstarter

The project marks a pivot to survival crafting backed by community funding.

Overview

  • Crema revealed Temtem: Pioneers at the Triple‑i Initiative showcase on Thursday, releasing a trailer and listing the PC version on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
  • The spin-off swaps Temtem’s turn-based battles for an open-world survival crafting design where players gather resources, build bases, and explore new biomes.
  • Coverage reports real-time combat that lets players directly control their Temtem and switch between up to three creatures, with no player firearms shown.
  • The setting moves to the Downbelow, a vast new region where wild Temtem roam, separate from the series’ original Archipelago.
  • A Kickstarter campaign went live alongside the reveal, and outlets note there is no release date as Crema seeks partial crowdfunding after earlier spin-offs like Showdown and Swarm.
