Overview

  • The paid expansion went live on Thursday, June 18, 2026 across PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo platforms and costs $9.99.
  • In the Jungle swaps much of the game to a top‑down overland view and adds free exploration, above‑ground ingredient gathering and a village with quests and a trust/relationship system.
  • The DLC introduces new gameplay systems including turn‑based RPG combat, rhythm and other minigames, and a freshwater restaurant called Bancho Grill focused on new recipes.
  • Reviewers reported roughly 10 to 30 hours of additional content and noted the expansion requires completion of the main campaign before it can be accessed.
  • Coverage was strongly positive about scope and value, and Mintrocket issued a same‑week fix after a reviewer reported a chase‑sequence bug, showing rapid post‑launch support.
