Eastward: Octopia launch trailer

The DLC expansion Eastward: Octopia has arrived on Switch today, and developers Chucklefish and Pixpil have shared a short launch trailer to commemorate the occasion, giving players another glimpse at what the package has to offer.

Eastward: Octopia was previously announced during a Nintendo Direct in September. Catch up on the expansion with the overview and trailer below:

Next Stop… Octopia!
Sam and John return in an all-new adventure! In a remote mountainside village, Sam and John start life anew as farmers. Work the land, tend livestock, and cook heartwarming meals for familiar -yet strangely different- friends.

Enjoy the good life in peaceful pixel surroundings!

• Help Sam & John lead a peaceful new life in the countryside – no miasma, no hardships, just happy times in a parallel universe
• Revitalize a neglected farmstead; grow crops, rear animals, forage in the wetlands, talk to ghosts, and spend your nights casting your line in the local fishing holes
• Construct and upgrade stores and homes to restore Octopia into a thriving community
• As the town begins to flourish, more familiar faces will flock to the area – some may even stay for good!
• Using farm-fresh ingredients and John’s Cookbook, create recipes and whip up delicious culinary delights to share with your neighbours

For new and old players alike – “Eastward: Octopia” is accessible straight from Eastward’s start menu, so you can start living the good life straight away.

Remember that Eastward: Octopia is a separate adventure and players won’t need to have completed the main game to access the DLC. It’s in the main menu, so you’ll still need the actual game to access it. Pricing is set at $5.99 / £4.99 / €5.89 for the DLC.
