During The Game Awards 2023’s Wholesome Snack showcase, Chucklefish and Pixpil announced the new Octopia DLC for Eastward will launch on January 31 for Nintendo Switch and PC. The new DLC will be directly accessible from the start menu of Eastward.
Eastward is a charming action-adventure game initially released in September 2021. More than two years after its launch, adventures in Eastward will continue through the new Octopia DLC, which was initially confirmed for a winter release.
Eastward Octopia DLC
The Octopia is set in a parallel world that’s free of the dangers that plagued Eastward’s original world. Sam and John set out on a new journey as farmers that work the land, cook for friends, and restore Octopia to its former glory. The DLC will be available on Nintendo Switch and PC, but the Xbox One version appears to be omitted.
Here’s an overview of the new DLC, via the Nintendo eShop:
Next Stop… Octopia!
Sam and John return in an all-new adventure! In a remote mountainside village, Sam and John start life anew as farmers. Work the land, tend livestock, and cook heartwarming meals for familiar -yet strangely different- friends.
