Today independent Finnish developer MiTale is pleased to announce that its dark fantasy action RPG, Willow Guard, will launch its Frostreign DLC on PC via Steam on April 23. In this expansion to the story-driven, animal-led tale, the brave badger protagonist will be joined by a young wolverine cub named Súri.
In the base game, dutybound hero Ghweros defended the animal kingdom from monster attacks, battling through hand-crafted pixel art dungeons as he went. Frostreign continues that quest, as Ghweros once again must wield his sword, this time venturing to Regnum Polis to prevent another monster attack before the next Solstice.
Unnatural and seemingly unending winter conditions force Ghweros to navigate using ancient portals, leading him to meet Súri, an orphaned wolverine cub with impressive combat skills. With Súri in tow as a resourceful apprentice, you’ll take the fight to the creatures from Alteros.
Together, the duo will investigate the secrets of the portals themselves, and gradually unravel the mystery behind the dangers threatening their home. Gather clues and items to uncover hidden secrets and learn more about this lore-rich setting.
Willow Guard’s core combat gameplay continues as you hack, slash, and dash your way through cursed creatures and fiendish foes. Grow stronger by improving your gear and growing and mastering your deck of ability cards (including ranged attacks and healing skills). Combine your combat build with the choice-based Inclination system, shaping the type of personality Ghweros has and the sort of leader he will become.
The Willow Guard Frostreign DLC launches April 23 on Windows PC via Steam.
