New “Sunshine Update” Available for Cassette Beasts

Ahoy there, Cassette Beasts players! The new version 1.8, Sunshine Update, which launches today, brings several new features to the island of New Wirral that will enhance the adventure for both new and returning players!

Sunny days ahead! Fan-favourite character Sunny, who appears in the game as part of the main story, finally carves her own path! After the main quest events, Sunny will be available to partner up with for the first time as she sets off on a new questline to tie up loose ends regarding her past as one of the strange Landkeepers that haunt the island of New Wirral.

Your first question might be, “Why is this update coming to Cassette Beasts?” Cassette Beasts already feels stuffed with content now, but Sunny was a fan favourite character from the original release of the game who felt like she had a lot of further potential to explore as a character. Going back to revisit her story and personality with new writing and dialogue has been a lot of fun for us as developers, and we’re hoping this new update lives up to the expectations of our community.

Sunny’s questline introduces new monsters – including her own signature tape form, Pawper! Pawper is a large beast-type that kind of resembles a bear costume… is the real monster inside? It’s best not to think about it! Pawper’s signature move, “Bear Hug” hits the target with a move that transfers negative status effects over to them.

You can now take to the skies with new wings! This update lets you customize your gliding wings after recording certain monsters. If you want even more wings to traverse the skies with on your adventure, the new premium Wings Pack DLC includes even more various themed wings to customise your character.

That’s all for now! – Whether this will be your first flight with Cassette Beasts or you’re a seasoned veteran in the ways of monster-recording, We hope you are as excited for this update as we are. Jump in today on Xbox.
