Creeping Winter is Here!

You know what. I’m just going to say it. Summer isn’t that great. My hair gets frizzy, my skin gets burnt, and my all-black wardrobe makes me even sweatier than usual. That last one is classified as a medical marvel, by the way. So you can only imagine the joy that I felt when the Dungeons team told me that the new DLC out today is a veritable winter wonderland!

Look at all that ice. Frozen, glittery, and pranced upon by polar bears. What more do you need? Nothing, but there is more in store for you anyway! When the DLC drops on September 8th, we will also release our free Camp Update! We have removed all the horrifying aspects of camping, like mosquitos and bears, and replaced them with new villager merchants, a blacksmith that upgrades your items, and a gift wrapper for multiplayer trading!   

The free update also includes Daily Trials! You get two new daily trials each day, plus an extra one for each DLC that you have. These trials are also much more fun than the silly legal ones that I am forced to attend. In this case, again not court related, the trials challenge you with higher power levels than normal gameplay. That means these trials are going to be tougher than you may be used to, but they are also weighted to higher rarity levels (a.k.a. better treasure)!

So how do you get your mittens on the new DLC? There are a few ways! You can upgrade your Standard Edition with a Hero Pass, which also includes unique cosmetics and the Jungle Awakens DLC. You can also buy the DLC separately on your digital platform of choice – or buy the all-new physical version of the Hero Edition in stores today. If you’re in Japan and want a physical PS4 version of the game, you will have to wait a month.
