Spirit of the Island update out now, patch notes

The Switch version of Spirit of the Island was updated this week with some new content and more.

New Story mode is the highlight of the patch. Overall players can access roughly 25 hours of extra gameplay. Also included are the Adventureland and Beach Resort DLCs with all of their content for free.

Here’s the full rundown of the update:

• brings Nintendo Switch up to date with PC version
  • adds New Story mode
    • New Story mode brings completely reworked quests, dialogues and main story line for both single player and co-op modes. And yes, the story is now the same in both modes. That’s about 25 hours of brand new gameplay completely for free! It’s a great way to experience the game anew. We had a lot of feedback from our dear community and we did our absolute best to rework everything from scratch. We don’t want to spoil too much here, but we hope that you and your friends are excited to visit our tropical paradise again in both single player and co-op! Oh, and don’t worry about the old story: it will be available as well! If you want to try it, select “Children of the Ocean” when you start the game. But we highly recommend playing the new one first, as it will be the most complete experience you could get!
  • This update also adds Adventureland and Beach Resort DLCs with all of their content for free!
  • Fixed various errors in coop mode;
  • Fixed various problems with controllers;
  • Fixed an old bug with marriage;
  • We’ve also optimised the game to load faster;
  • We’ve changed the Host-Second player interaction the New Story coop mode: now, only the host can finish the active quests. Second player can still interact with all NPCs and do everything else. This was done to ensure maximum compatibility and stability of the gameplay in New Story.
  • Fixed rare issue, when achievements didn’t unlock for some players;
  • Fixed a very rare issue, when host’s and second players save files were swapped.

All players on Switch can access the Spirit of the Island update now. Check out more on the game from us here.
