Press release:
[Lyon, France – November 17, 2025]
The Finland, Singapore and China-based indie games publisher Yahaha Games and Lyon-based (France) indie games developer Ultimo Disco, today announced with great thrill that their colorful canine party game, “Sheepherds!“, is now available on Steam.

After several successful playtests and a pawsome Steam Next Fest demo that earned a 94% “Very Positive” rating, Ultimo Disco is ready to deliver an adorable party game experience to players that strikes the pawfect balance between cozy and chaotic.

The full version brings expanded content and improved playability — featuring a big 3D hub area, additional mini-games, refined visual effects, and smoother UI. Sheepherders can now access all 22 maps the game has to offer, as well as 18 different breeds and 20 outfits to show off your unique paw-sinality. The Supporter’s Pack DLC with additional goodies and the Sheepherds! original soundtrack (OST) is now available — check out both for extra outfits, the vibe-iest music, and the opportunity to play as cute Piglet! The Supporter’s Pack DLC will be free during launch week, so the early dog gets the bone!

Key Features:

Master the flock – The sheep follow and influence each other, just like in real life. Learn to manage them like a good sheepdog, by positioning yourself strategically and barking at just the right moment! Or, just do whatever: after all, you’re a dog.

Spice it up with bonus challenges – Add an extra layer of depth with optional challenges designed to test your skills and teamwork. These features provide a rewarding experience for those seeking more engaging gameplay, while remaining entirely optional for a relaxed session.

Not just any dog – your dog – Turn your well-earned treats into exciting rewards! Unlock a variety of stylish accessories, colorful outfits, and unique skins to personalize your sheepdog. From corgis to pugs, choose from 15 different lovable breeds. Mix and match your favorite combinations to create a look that perfectly reflects your style and makes your dog stand out in the flock.

Small scope, big heart – Sheepherds! doesn’t try to do everything—it focuses on what matters most: cooperation and playfulness. Every detail, from the sheep’s behaviors to the lovingly crafted landscapes, is designed to deliver a polished experience that will leave you smiling.

Herd with friends near and far – Although it can be enjoyed solo, Sheepherds! is designed to be played together, whether you’re side by side on the couch or connecting from across the globe. The game supports both local co-op and a fully integrated online multiplayer mode, making it easy to team up with friends wherever they are.

Kick back in the big field – Take a break between two herding trips and enjoy the little things: snap photos with your friends, read the sweet letters from your grandma, or dive into the mini-games she’s prepared just for you. Each new area you unlock brings fresh surprises and joyful moments to share.

Begin herding your flock alongside your pack in Sheepherds! on Steam today! Sheepherds! is available for $14.99 on Steam, but is discounted 10% off during launch week. Enthusiastic sheepdogs can also check out the Supporter Pack DLC (free during launch week) and the Sheepherds! Original Soundtrack, both available on Steam now.
