Earlier this month it was announced that Monster Sanctuary would be receiving a substantial free update titled The Forgotten World, which would bring with it a new area, new monsters, and three additional game modes, as well as other features. This update, which was expected to launch June 30, has gone live a week early, and is now immediately available to download. In a statement on Twitter, publisher Team 17 revealed that this was unintentional, but instead was done to avoid any complications with player saves.
