Eastward: Octopia DLC is Now Available for PC and Nintendo Switch

Set in a parallel world, the DLC sees Sam and John rejuvenating a farm, growing crops and bringing life to Seagull Town.

Chucklefish’s first paid DLC for Eastward, Octopia, is now available on PC and Nintendo Switch. Retailing for $5.99, it’s currently discounted on Steam by 15 percent until February 14th. Check out the launch trailer below – the DLC is playable immediately from the main menu.

For those confused about the upbeat nature of the DLC compared to the base game, Octopia takes place in a parallel world. It’s more of a farming sim, with Sam and John looking to restore a ruined farmland. There are crops to grow, livestock to raise, meals to repair and fish to catch. Of course, your progress also affects the neighboring Seagull Town.

You can eventually construct stores and houses, causing more NPCs to move in (which include familiar faces from the base game) and more. Eastward: Octopia promises about 15 to 20 hours of “pixel-perfect gameplay,” which isn’t too shabby considering its price point.

As for an Xbox One release for the DLC, Pixpil is looking into making it available and “will update the community as soon as we have more news.”
