Surprise New Update Released for Bug Fables

With a surprise update, Dangen Entertainment and Moonsprout Games are giving Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling fans something to cheer about on its fifth anniversary. The indie game, now at version 1.2, has been enhanced with new features for players across all platforms, including PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. For those who have journeyed through the rich story, this update serves up fresh post-game challenges and adventures.

First debuting in 2019, Bug Fables drew inspiration from Nintendo’s beloved Paper Mario series, particularly the N64 original and its follow-up, The Thousand-Year Door. Players immerse themselves in the colorful world of Bugaria, guiding a trio of charming bugs—Vi, Kabbu, and Leif—on their quest for the mythical Everlasting Sapling. Praised for its engaging characters and inventive combat, Bug Fables quickly became a hit among gamers and critics alike. Although it initially captivated audiences on the Nintendo Switch, it eventually won over many more on platforms like PC and PlayStation in the following year. Half a decade later, enthusiasts are being invited back with open arms—and plenty of new content to explore.

The latest update, accessible for free on all platforms, brings a host of enhancements, the most notable being the addition of new endgame bosses, designed to test even the most seasoned players. Gamers can also strive to collect 11 new medals, each offering gameplay twists to spice up their strategies.

In addition, Bug Fables introduces a fishing feature. This new pastime encourages players to hook worms from the game’s watery depths, neatly recorded in a standalone compendium. Players can also rally new allies to their side, bolstering their bug party as they engage in combat. Adding to the atmosphere, a fresh music track has joined Bugaria’s already rich soundtrack.

This update isn’t just about adding more playable content; it’s also about streamlining some existing features. For instance, Vi’s Beemerang has gained the ability to lock into eight fixed directions during combat, a boon for players seeking more control. On a heartfelt note, the developers expressed gratitude to the community for their steadfast support through the years, marking this update as a perfect opportunity for longtime fans to return and for new players to start their adventure.
