Earlier this week, the relatively new farming simulator Fae Farm received a free DLC update Coasts of Croatia – taking players to Archl-pal-igo Park, where they can learn the language of the many creatures that roam the park.
Along with this, there are a bunch of updates to the game adding new dialogs, increasing home storage and more. We don’t have a full list of patch notes, detailing what this latest update has added to the game. Here’s the summary:
Fairy Farm Patch Notes 2.0.0 (December 2023)
COASTS OF CROATIA
The first premium content update for Fae Farm, “Coasts of Croakia” is now available!
For Switch players and those with the Deluxe Edition on PC, this content will be automatically enabled. For owners of the Standard Edition on PC, you can view more details and purchase this content from the new “Additional Content” option in the main menu or directly through your chosen store.
You can access the Coasts of Croakia content by going to Chapter 3 and looking in your mailbox for a letter from Lem.
