Just ahead of Gamescom, Wired Productions has announced a deal with Thailand-based developer WereBuff Studio for its debut title Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit, a cinematic horror adventure steeped in Thai folklore. The game will be coming to PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store in 2027. Players won’t have long to wait to experience it, as the game will be playable at Gamescom 2026 at the Indie Arena Booth.
Blending stealth, environmental puzzles and tense platforming, Kumarn is created for fans of the genre popularised by Little Nightmares and Reanimal, but with a more “sinister” edge. Kumarn, a young child spirit, and his loyal companion Zeb were once guardians of their village, where humans and spirits co-existed in harmony to bring luck, prosperity and protection to those who lived there.
However, when a forbidden ritual tears them from their shrine, they are cast into a nightmarish world of whispering forests, forsaken villages and forgotten temples where haunting ancient folklore has awakened into a terrifying reality. Relentlessly stalked by twisted creatures and restless ghosts born from Thai tales that mourn, hunger and hunt them, they must brave a land consumed by ancient darkness to find their way home.
“With Kumarn: The Wandering Spirit, our goal has always been to introduce Thai horror to the world,” said Wyn Panichpakdee, Managing Director at WereBuff Studio. “We want to share the unique stories, beliefs, and folklore of Thailand in a way that can be experienced by players everywhere. We’re thrilled to have Wired Productions as a partner who believes in both the game and our creative direction, and we look forward to bringing Thai horror to a global audience together.”
