Independent Finnish developer MiTale has announced its new DLC for dark fantasy action RPG Willow Guard. Frostreign launches on PC via Steam on April 23. In this expansion to the story-driven, animal-led tale, a young wolverine cub named Súri joins the brave badger protagonist.
In the base game, loyal hero Ghweros defended the animal kingdom from monster attacks, battling through hand-crafted pixel art dungeons. Frostreign continues that quest. This time, Ghweros ventures to Regnum Polis to stop another monster attack before the next Solstice.
Unnatural, seemingly unending winter conditions force Ghweros to navigate using ancient portals. There he meets Súri, an orphaned wolverine cub with impressive combat skills. With Súri as a resourceful apprentice, you’ll take the fight to the creatures from Alteros. Together, the duo will investigate the secrets of the portals and gradually unravel the mystery behind the dangers threatening their home. Gather clues and items to uncover hidden secrets and learn more about this rich lore.
Beyond the story, Willow Guard’s core combat gameplay continues as you hack, slash, and dash through cursed creatures and foes. Additionally, grow stronger by improving your gear and mastering your deck of ability cards, which includes ranged attacks and healing skills. Ultimately, you can shape Ghweros’s personality through the choice-based Inclination system, deciding the sort of leader you’d like him to be.
The Willow Guard Frostreign DLC launches April 23 on Windows PC via Steam.
