addedNEW GAME PLUSThe most highly requested feature from the community ever since we launched was New Game Plus , and the response to the game has been so overwhelming that we eventually had to do it. I'm happy to say that we cooked on this.

addedNEW GAME PLUSWe didn't just lazily scale up enemy stats and call it a day, we've added new moves to bosses, some new items, and oh yeah, remixed almost every enemy encounter in the game. You'll even be able to upgrade your fork and stowaway weight even higher. Have you ever wanted FOUR stowaway slots? NG+ has FOUR stowaway slots. PLUS we've also added new exclusive stowaways for NG+, the Sigils.

APRIL 21

Slightly earlier than our 1 year anniversary but WHO CARES we want you to play this update.

As a reminder, this is not a DLC, it's a FREE yes FREE content update. It's not a small one either, we packed this baby with a bunch of new stuff:

REFIGHT BOSSES

You'll now have the chance to go back to your favorite boss fights and get your shell handed to you through COMBAT MEMORIES. Maybe you just wanna listen to Polluted Platoon Pathfinder again, I won't judge. Re-fight any defeated boss in your playthrough from any Moon Snail Shell. Speaking of bosses...

BOSS RUSH MODE

Topoda now offers Boss Rush challenges - with a variety of themed sequential fights.

Your reward for beating one of these trials is...

NEW COSTUMES

OK I GUESS I can't just move on from this without leaking one of the new costumes. Here's a look at Pretty Princess Kril:

MUSEUM BESTIARY

The Museum is finally open again for business, and inside is a constantly updated display of all enemies you encounter and defeat in your journey.

AND ONE NEW BOSS FIGHT.

I'm not snitchin' ok. I won't budge, but trust me it's a well deserved fight. This boss totally deserves it.

COMMUNITY UPDATES:

Due to popular demand, we're also adding new achievements AND community trading cards! Here's a sneak peek at one of them:

AND if you're in the speedrunning community, keep an eye out for some speedy snails around the world... oh an one more thing...

PHYSICAL EDITIONS COMING SOON

Hope you all enjoy, and thank you SO SO much for all the support on this game! We’re excited to show you what’s next as soon as it’s ready! It won’t be long now…
