Original (5/23): BlitWorks and Ansdor announced today that Slipstream is expanding with its free content expansion known as “Blue Hour”. Switch will be getting it in Summer 2023.
The expansion contains two game modes, three cars, and five new tracks with their respective music tracks. The tracks are set in real world locations – specifically in exotic or unexpected locations in Europe: Marseille, Pompeii, Transylvania, Granada, and Edinburgh. Ansdor has also implemented a fog system and a dynamic lighting system that allows cars’ headlights to illuminate the track in real time. Whereas the main game is more like an early 32-bit title, the expansion is more like a late 16-bit game.

[Review] Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life
Posted on 1 year ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Switch, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: June 27, 2023
Developer: Marvelous
Publisher: XSEED / Marvelous
