During Rain World’s 7th anniversary celebration, VIDEOCULT, alongside publisher Akupara Games, excitedly announced The Watcher, the newest DLC in their widely-praised cult classics expanding lineup.
“Explore undiscovered regions layered with creepy, crawly, never-before-seen creatures that’ll be sure to test the strongest of wills. When the world around you starts to crumble will you succumb to the sinister shadows or stand up stoic awaiting the evercoming, consuming darkness that grips your feet?”, reads the press release.
“Rain World: The Watcher is the next DLC expansion of Rain World. Journey beyond to something, somewhere only ever glimpsed. When the world beneath your feet cracks and crumbles, will you hold on to all you once knew? Or dive into the unknown?
The wilds that await will be unlike all that’s come before.
Unknown creatures stalk and climb and dive and hunt. New breeds rip and pluck and burrow and hide. Predator and prey redefined. And through the middle of it all, a lonely, lost slugcat trying their best to outlast the ravages of a warped world.”
Rain World: The Watcher is coming soon so make sure to wishlist it on Steam!
Rain World is a cult classic that feels more like an experience rather than a game.
Yes, the platforming is pretty fun and rewarding to master whereas exploration in the game feels so darn satisfying but more than anything, Rain World always succeeds in making you feel as if you are at the bottom of the food chain and more often than not it made me realise just how small we are in the grand scheme of things.
It’s thrilling, it’s enigmatic, it’s alien, it’s atmospheric, it’s great.
So, to see more content coming to the game, especially so soon after Downpour is just… fantastic!
The Watcher is going to add at least one new type of slugcat – on topof new biomes, enemies and lore, so I’m really looking forward to it, especially given how the DLCs will interact with each other! In the screenshots available already, we can see a dark little fellow who might just blend in with the shadows. I wonder what their gameplay is going to look like!
Hence, I’m more than excited for this upcoming release and I hope you are, too. If you haven’t checked out Rain World for yourself yet, I highly recommend it!
