Eastward 'Octopia' DLC releasing Jan. 31st, 2024

Chucklefish previously announced that the RPG adventure game Eastward is getting a brand new DLC expansion called ‘Octopia,’ and now we know the release date. This DLC will head to Switch on Jan. 31st, 2023, and you can check out a fresh trailer for the content above.

Eastward: Octopia is a DLC expansion for Eastward that follows Sam and John as they start a peaceful new life as farmers in a remote mountainside village.

Set in a parallel world to Eastward without the dangers of miasma, Eastward: Octopia will see players joining the good life alongside Sam and John, repairing and revitalising an old neglected farmland in this expansive farm-sim DLC.

Players will grow crops, tend to livestock, and unleash their culinary creativity using freshly farmed produce to whip up scrumptious new meals, which are then stored in John’s Big Cookbook. There are fishing holes to visit, ghosts to chat to, and a colourful cast of Eastward characters to impress with John’s new recipes.

As the farm grows, so does the nearby town, with players able to transform an abandoned fairground into a thriving community, constructing homes and shops, and welcoming in familiar NPCs as new neighbours.
