PQube are thrilled to be partnering with Full Stop Studios to launch their cozy village-life RPG, The Detectorist Guild, on PC (via Steam® and Epic Games Store), PlayStation® 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch™ in Early 2027. Set in Yorkshire at the turn of the millennium, the game invites players to explore a quintessential British village with a trusty metal detector, uncovering lost treasures while slowly unravelling a deep-seated local mystery.

In The Detectorist Guild, players journey to a peaceful countryside English village, Shiverly, and step into the shoes of budding detectorist James. With metal detector in-hand, he will help the eccentric villagers locate their prized belongings while unearthing artefacts that reveal stories of the past. However, beneath Shiverly’s cozy and charming exterior lies a dark secret that will connect past and present, changing everything he knows about his peaceful village life.

The Detectorist Guild features accurately simulated metal detecting mechanics, including adjustable frequency, ground balance, and sensitivity controls, providing an authentic experience for both aspiring and veteran detectorists. As players unearth history, they can choose to donate relics to the local museum to learn more about the village’s past, or sell their antiques for a profit at the village emporium. A new Announcement Trailer was released today showcasing the gameplay loop, focusing on exploration, quests and collecting, all set against a beautifully designed 2.5D nostalgic British backdrop.

About The Detectorist Guild

Welcome to Shiverly, a peaceful English village in Yorkshire, at the turn of the millennium, where rolling fields, friendly locals and buried secrets await

In The Detectorist Guild, you join James who is free to roam the town and surrounding countryside locations with his trusty metal detector, searching for artefacts that reveal the stories of the past. Villagers often misplace their prized belongings and it is up to James to track them down, return what is lost and earn their trust.

But beneath the cosy surface lies something more. As James digs deeper into the village’s history, a dark mystery begins to emerge, drawing him and his family into a tale that connects past and present.

Donate historical discoveries to the local museum and learn their origins. Sell 20th Century antiques to the local Emporium and use the money to upgrade equipment to reach new depths and uncover more valuable treasures. Every field, footpath and forgotten corner could hide your next great discovery.
