Expansions have been part of gaming for longer than you might expect, and once developers found out how they could deliver them for free, many took that path to deliver more content to gamers. Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter was released last year, but now the expansion “Blood & Brine” has been released for free, and the teams at Odd Bug Studio and United Label have brought a lot to bear with this expansion. That includes bringing in some indie game collaborations to boot! Find out more about the expansion below:

“This new post-game expansion introduces a brand new area featuring 11 new quests, 10 new bosses, a unique fishing mechanic, nine new armour sets, and new original music.

The expansion also adds new crossover armour sets inspired by player favourites, including The Penitent One from Blasphemous, The Lamb from Cult of the Lamb, Dave from DAVE THE DIVER, The Crow from Death’s Door, Will from Moonlighter and Boom Boom from Beyond GalaxyLand. Each has been reimagined in Odd Bug Studio’s distinctive hand-drawn style.

The new location is a scenic coastal area, Hardshell Brook, where players can explore and encounter exciting new adventures and experiences. With peace restored to the Ratdom, a fresh threat emerges from the sea. After their vessel is destroyed, sailors Jaimie and Sam seek Arlo’s help with an unusual plan: build an aquarium, attract visitors, and raise enough money to repair their ship.

Arlo must cast his line into dangerous waters and gather a collection of unusual aquatic creatures. But as the aquarium grows, suspicions begin to surface around the sailors’ account of what really happened at sea.”

As you can see, there’s plenty going on with this content expansion, and that’s all on top of the main game itself! So, if you want to see all that’s being offered, get the main title on console or PC, and then fight your way to the new expansion!
