Released on PC earlier this year, console players have been quietly waiting for their chance to slither through the Watcher’s murky, warped waters. Hide in the shade, wiggle through the dark, and shift between realities as the Watcher decides the fate of a newfound slugcat. What will it take to stay in the shadows?
In addition to the console port, Videocult is excited to release “The Watcher” 1.5! This update brings multiple new regions to explore, new creatures, items, mechanics, new characters, new paths (and endings), plus a multitude of new pieces of art and music.
Beyond “The Watcher” campaign, Rain World itself will be getting major improvements with “The Watcher” including: over 50 new Arena maps, full Arena Mode and Jolly Co-op support for “The Watcher,” and retroactive Jolly Co-Op support for ALL five “Downpour” campaigns. Players can also expect numerous gameplay tweaks, patches, and quality-of-life updates.
