Rain World to receive The Watcher DLC on Nintendo Switch [update: new date and trailer]
September 2024: There’s more to come for Rain World, and today it was announced that The Watcher will be made available on Nintendo Switch. It’s coming out on March 28, 2025.
Here’s what’s been shared about the DLC thus far:
Explore undiscovered regions layered with creepy, crawly, never-before-seen creatures that’ll be sure to test the strongest of wills. When the world around you starts to crumble will you succumb to the sinister shadows or stand up stoic awaiting the evercoming, consuming darkness that grips your feet?
Rain World: The Watcher is the next downloadable content expansion of Rain World. Journey beyond to something, somewhere only ever glimpsed. When the world beneath your feet cracks and crumbles, will you hold on to all you once knew? Or dive into the unknown?
The wilds that await will be unlike all that’s come before.
Unknown creatures stalk and climb and dive and hunt. New breeds rip and pluck and burrow and hide. Predator and prey redefined. And through the middle of it all, a lonely, lost slugcat trying their best to outlast the ravages of a warped world.
Have a look at a trailer for Rain World’s The Watcher DLC below.
