The fantasy extraction game tops the charts, while Valve celebrates a record-breaking number of wishlists generated during the event.

Dungeonborne, a fantasy extraction game, topped the charts at February's Steam Next Fest, becoming the most played demo.
The event showcased a diverse range of genres, with strategy games like Stormgate and Homeworld 3 also drawing significant attention.
Valve reported over 3 million wishlists generated during the fest, marking it as the most successful Next Fest to date.
Developers of Dungeonborne, Mithril Interactive, plan to address feedback from the playtest, focusing on class balance, anti-cheat measures, and gameplay polishing.
Concerns were raised about the dominance of well-known strategy games, potentially overshadowing smaller indie titles in need of discoverability.
