Cozy Co-Op Party Game Sheepherds! Extends August Playtest Until August 25th
Grab your friends for some cute canine chaos
[Lyon, France - August 15, 2025] — Ultimo Disco is excited to extend the Sheepherds! August Playtest for one more week until August 25th following their participation in the Wholesome Games Celebration and Tiny Teams showcases. The team at Ultimo Disco have added two new maps, as well as a new Transhumance mechanic, with the new playtest update.
If you enjoy the playful teamwork like Overcooked or PlateUp! but prefer something simpler with less pressure, Sheepherds! is for you. It is a cozy, family-friendly co-op game where you play as a mischievous sheepdog tasked with herding flocks of sheep and collecting colorful wool. Team up with your friends, personalize your sheepdog, and begin herding fluffy sheep in this collaborative and vibrant party game!
The August Playtest has been a huge success so far, with over 5,000 players signing up to test. It features 12 maps, 15 different dog breeds to choose from, and introduces three new key mechanics that add an extra layer to your sheepherding fun! New Playtest features include guiding your fuzzy sheep through swirling tides and utilizing glowing flowers that reflect secondary colors on sheep. Transhumance is a new feature added just for this extension — guide your sheep forward along paths with the camera in a fixed, forward position. Keep ‘em moving and out of trouble!
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
