Fantasy Life i: The Lady Who Steals Time – the sequel to developer Stage 5’s 2012 Nintendo DS life sim and RPG factor – is getting a bunch of free DLC, which we already knew. What we weren’t beforehand conscious of, nonetheless, is that its DLC will embody an open-world roguelike mode.
It isn’t fully clear why a comparatively laidback, job-focused life sim RPG would need to get in on the roguelike motion, however that is what Stage 5 goes for. As detailed in its announcement weblog, the replace – which is at the moment “actively underway” – will characteristic an “developed model of Ginormosia, together with a system mixing roguelike and open-world parts”.
Stage 5’s announcement stops wanting explaining how the brand new mode will truly work, nevertheless it does say the replace will embody “participating content material for each skilled gamers and newcomers alike.” Moreover, the replace guarantees “highly effective new gear”, plus “trendy tools, mounts, and quite a lot of uncommon objects.” A phone manufactured from butts instantly springs to thoughts, however I believe I am more likely to be disenchanted.
And we’re not fairly completed but. Fantasy Life i’s free DLC replace may even embody a brand-new character who’ll “depart a big mark on the world”, plus new hairstyles and new emotes to “make it much more satisfying for gamers to precise themselves in-game”. As for when all this may present up, Stage 5 says “as quickly as doable”.
“Stage 5 appreciates everybody’s continued help and stays dedicated to constantly refining Fantasy Life i: The Lady Who Steals Time,” it concludes in its announcement publish, “in addition to increasing content material to offer the absolute best gaming expertise.”
Why all this free DLC? That’ll be all the way down to Fantasy Life i’s spectacular gross sales, with the sport having already shifted 1m copies since its launch on the finish of Might. Stage 5 can also be celebrating the milestone with a “commemorative reward code” that’ll unlock an “unique piece of kit”, plus a “commemorative Pegasus mount” – though its publish profusely apologises for mistakenly giving gamers on sure platforms a unicorn as a substitute. That error ought to now be mounted, alas.
And if you would like to bump that gross sales quantity as much as 1m and one, Fantasy Life i: The Lady Who Steals Time is out there now on Steam, Xbox Collection X/S, PlayStation 5, Change, and Change 2.
