People will be able to take critters along in pets in the first Fae Farm DLC Coasts of Croakia. It launches today, with Switch players getting it for free and PC owners able to pick it up for $9.99.
The Coasts of Croakia add-on can be played during or after the campaign. Once you head into it, you can go to the new Archi-pal-igo Park region. This adds new quests and chances to interact with the animals in the game. In the base game, collecting critters and placing them in certain biomes you build allows you to catch materials. However, in the Fae Farm DLC the new Conch item can be equipped to “talk” to critters to add them as a pet. Using it causes an area of influence to appear in front of you. You can then befriend them to have them work alongside you to provide a stat buff while you explore.
A new array of screenshots showed some of the new additions in the update. Two new NPCs are Lem, who owns Archi-pal-igo Park, and a critter named Champ talking to a person using the Conch. New frog-themed furniture items are shown in a player character’s home. There’s also an overview of the new island. We also get to see some critters accompanying a Fae Farm character as pets in dungeons.
There's also a launch trailer for the DLC.
