The side-scrolling musical adventure Wandersong has had tremendous success since it was released in September last year. On the Switch front, the game outperformed the Steam version, selling nearly three times as many copies.
In an interview with LootPots, the mastermind behind this title Greg Lobanov was asked about the possibility of DLC being added to the game. He explained how extra content would only make sense if there was a "new story to tell" and right now, everything was where it should be:
"As far as the story goes, I feel it like it ends in a really nice place. I don’t really feel like I want to bother the characters any more or ask them anything else. I feel like they’re pretty set. If I had a really strong idea for DLC, and maybe it’ll happen down the road, maybe I’ll change my mind about it. But right now everything is good, where it should be."
In terms of what's next for Lobanov, it would seem he is already working on multiple new projects:
"I’m actually working on, as of yesterday, three different games but some more obviously than others. We just announced my next, kinda Wandersong-ish follow-up [drawdog], which is going to be a game about a dog that paints. I’m also collaborating on a couple of other smaller things.
When asked if his next game would come to the Nintendo Switch, this was his reply:
"We don’t know yet. I would be really excited for it to come to the Switch, but I would say I can’t say for sure yet."

Still no review for this game on NL...
Great game. DLC would be nice as I'd love to spend more time with these characters, but I can appreciate the creator wanting to move on to new things and Drawdog sounds potentially just as charming as Wandersong was.
As to the developer not being sure if it'll come to Switch, I appreciate him not wanting to commit to anything at this early stage, but considering Wandersong sold so much better on Switch than on Steam it seems like a safe bet.
Why is DLC even a requirement for games? If it’s suppose to be the complete package, then that’s the way it’s suppose to be enjoyed. Pay once.
This is still on my wishlist and I fully anticipate getting it down the road. I actually don’t care for DLC overall with smaller titles. Once I finish the base game of an Indie title I am ready to move onto the next one!
As much as I love Wandersong, I'd be much more interested in a sequel or the developer's next game which I didn't realise he'd announced.
This is one game that deserves to sell well on the Switch, after all it was a console exclusive for the Switch for a few months. And it was a good game. But sad to see it didn't stays on the bestseller list for long...
Wished this site had posted a review for the game...
