Hello Xbox fans! I’m Kevin Zuhn, Creative Director at Young Horses, and this is what I’m talking about today Bugsnax!
If you are not familiar Bugsnax is a first person adventure game where you collect art bugs, art snak creatures and feed them to your friends. Playing as a journalist, you follow the trail of lost explorer Elizabert Megafig to Snaktooth Island, where she discovered Bugsnax before mysteriously disappearing. The only way to track them down is to capture tons of Bugsnax and feed them to Lizbert’s scattered band of misfits. However, anyone who consumes a Bugsnak will quickly mutate into what they ate!
It’s a unique blend of slapstick comedy and narrative mystery with a sprinkling of body horror to the side. If that sounds appetizing, then I have good news: Bugsnax is coming to Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass and available April 28th for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Cloud Gaming (Beta) and Windows 10 PC!
To make this new release even more exciting, the Young Horses team and I have been hard at work on a free content update called The island of Bigsnax.
The island of Bigsnax contains around three hours of new story and quest content as you explore a strange island that has risen from the sea and is inhabited by giant bugs! You can also take on new challenges in the town of Snaxburg to earn furniture and accessories for your personal cabin. And I’m always happy to say that you can now hunt for adorable hats to add to your Bugsnax collection.
There are also tons of quality of life updates, minor story beats, and juicy secrets hidden throughout the game. For new players on Xbox, all of this updated content will be integrated into the game as you play. You will play bigger and better Bugsnax from the beginning!
I’m really very happy to bring along Bugsnax a new audience, especially with all these free updates so I can share this weird and silly world with you all.
With this in mind, I wish you a lot of fun Bugsnax!
