Minasan konichiwa!
Our Sakura-themed update is finally here, bringing a fresh wave of spring into your experience! It includes a free content update for all players, plus an optional cosmetic DLC if you’d like to take the theme a step further.
Note:
Unfortunately, this update is postponed on consoles due to technical issues. Additionally, crossplay won't work with consoles, but still should work between PC platforms (Steam/GOG/EPIC).
We are working on fixing this as soon as possible and hope to bring this update to console players on the 7th of May.
A flurry of petals dances on the wind. Let their fleeting beauty follow the arc of your blade!
Your villagers are no longer just going through the motions. As they carry out their daily duties, they now grow alongside your settlement, gaining experience and leveling up over time. This can happen quicker if you make sure they are happy!
Their efficiency increases with their levels. Higher-level workers have increased workload capacity, handle additional fields, and produce more recipes, helping your village prosper.
Note that if you’re playing with a late-game save, you may have some workers already capped at the maximum level of 100. This is due to the experience being applied retroactively.
Your villagers are starting to find their calling. Some take to certain kinds of work better than others, and when they’re in the right place, it shows. Matching a worker’s specialization with their role grants a boost to both XP gain and production!
In older saves, you can still come across villagers without a clear specialization, but new arrivals will be more likely to bring their own strengths.
A new weapon type - Otsuchi.
A new outfit - Craftsman clothes.
Light Samurai set
This cosmetic DLC brings even more Japanese spring flavor, so grab it if you want to really lean into the festivities and support us further.
It contains:
New legendary weapon set: Porcelain (including Kanabo, Longbow, Yari, Tanto, Katana, Naginata, and Otsuchi).
Unique Menpo masks: White Bloodbath, Green Fire, Red Water.
New outfit: Light Samurai Clothing.
Decorative Banners (village structures with decorations):
2 banner stand sizes (large and small).
4 stand ornaments (each coming in 2 sizes and 2 color variants).
2 banner shapes - rectangular and square (each coming in 2 sizes).
32 unique banner variants with different colors and symbols.
Access to DLC content is host-centric, meaning that in co-op sessions, the item crafting and structure recipes will be:
Available to all players if the host owns the DLC.
Unavailable to clients if the host doesn’t own the DLC (even if the client owns the DLC).
We hope you enjoy this update as much as we do!
