Hi everyone, Development of the long-awaited DLC is finally complete. There will be an announcement for the release date shortly, as well as images and teasers for the many new monsters and cool things included. I say DLC these days so casually I take for granted that it may not be clear, so just to be 100% clear, it's just a game update with a lot of new content, and is entirely free. I wanted to share an announcement from our twitter today, which reiterates the above and gives a little update on the sequel project the rest of the Studio Aurum team is focused on: === Development of Monster Crown's DLC has completed and is in final testing. A release date will be announced soon to bring the final chapter of Monster Crown to players worldwide. This update will be brought to all platforms including some additional fixes and fun. Another exciting development, the Monster Crown Official TCG will be sent to the printers on November 25th, bringing another project I'm honored to be involved in to life, featuring the world and monsters and characters you've all gotten to know over the past 2 years. As our journey on Crown Island nears its close, many of you have been asking about the mysterious, in-development sequel, Monster Crown 2.

While the first screenshots will not be shared until the new year, please consider this our announcement of the project, and enjoy the teaser image created by the game's director, and my collaborative visionary on the project. I'll be taking a step back from hands-on development and art, serving as this project?s producer, but Project NEXT is a studio-wide effort and I can promise you that this team will take Monster Crown to newer heights and satisfy your monster taming thirst in ways you've never seen before. Thank you for two years of Monster Crown!! - Jason https://twitter.com/crowns_dev/status/1724868526857412694 === I want to thank all of you for ensuring we had the resources and interest to have these totally separate threads (the sequel and the TCG) running in parallel to my focus on fixes and the DLC. the Monster Crown Series is about to get a whole lot bigger, and I'm absolutely delighted to bring this final "content pack" update to the game, some of you may remember the Content Packs back during Early Access, this experience gave me similar feelings, and was honestly nostalgic for me in that way. My health has had plenty of ups and downs since then, and I wouldn't personally feel right serving as director on the next project with how intermittent I can be, that being said, I still keep a close eye on our projects and contribute plenty of ideas, lending a hand here and there to get things across the line. I also wanted to thank the person on the last post who turned me onto Heavy Metal Poisoning, a very thoughtful and caring suggestion and while that's not what i have, just to rule it out, I followed the protocol and am so sick of broccoli now I would gladly sign up for a spicy glutovi steak :D Stay tuned for the DLC feature post and release date coming up in the next couple of weeks! See you soon tamers.
