Eastward: Octopia DLC Launches

Eastward gets a new standalone life-sim mode as DLC on Steam and Switch

Developer Pixpil and publisher Chucklefish have released a new DLC expansion for their game Eastward.

Eastward: Octopia adds a standalone game mode to Eastward, a new cozy life-sim story, accessible from the game’s main menu at any time. Gameplay will be familiar to fans of Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley. Here’s a rundown of Octopia’s features:

The return of Sam and John in a new adventure set in the land of Octopia. Far away from the hardships of Eastward, this parallel universe encourages rest and relaxation.

A fresh start in a pixel-crafted world. Revive an old, neglected farmstead, and breathe life to the town through community upgrades and work projects, encouraging new neighbours to move in.

A world of culinary delights fresh from soil to table. Grow produce and harvest crops to whip up delicious meals that become saved recipes in John’s Cookbook.

A new setting to enjoy. Away from daily life on the farm, spend time catching fish, talking to ghosts, and exploring the secrets hidden in Octopia.

Eastward: Octopia is available now on Steam and Nintendo Switch.
