Press release:
Montpellier, France – March 12, 2026. Independent Italian studio Sedleo and French publisher Dear Villagers announce that 1348 Ex Voto is now available on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store) and PlayStation 5 consoles at $24,99/£21,99 for the Standard Edition, and $29,99/£25,99 for the Deluxe Edition which includes a digital artbook. The PlayStation 5 physical edition will be available on June 4th, 2026.The launch trailer was showcased during the Future Games Show Spring showcase

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.

“1348 Ex Voto is, at its heart, a story about whether the end ever justifies the means, exploring the cost of necessity, ideology, and freedom. We crafted it with all our passion, and as a small indie team, we’re incredibly grateful to humbly share it with you. We hope it resonates with you as deeply as it has with us.”

– Fabiola Martelli, Executive Producer and Tom Oceano, Game Director

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.
