Originally launched on Kickstarter in 2013 and officially released in 2018, RimWorld has become one of Steam’s highest rated and most enduring games. Now, Ludeon Studios is expanding the experience beyond the screen with a new line of physical products inspired by the game.
Produced in partnership with Juniper Creates, the collection includes a Randy Random hoodie with a “coin flip” zipper tag, plush versions of the Muffalo and Megasloth, and a set of sticker sheets featuring artwork from RimWorld and its expansions.
Founded by Canadian game designer Tynan Sylvester, Ludeon has always placed community at the center of its work. From early blog posts on game design to ongoing development updates, Sylvester has built a transparent connection with players. The new collection continues that journey, letting fans hold a piece of the RimWorld universe in their own hands.
Juniper spent six months designing and producing the line. “It was important to honour the world that Tynan and Ludeon have developed so thoroughly,” said Geoffrey Hill, Brand Strategy Manager at Juniper. “The challenge was turning iconic 2D elements into real products while keeping them true to the game that fans love.”
The collection is available on the RimWorld store until January 9.
