With the exciting announcement of the Tanuki Kabuki DLC, fans of Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus can look forward to an engaging new addition in 2025. This expansion promises to deliver fresh challenges and delightful content to enhance the already captivating world crafted by developer Squid Shock Studios. Originally released in July 2024 for a variety of platforms, including PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and the Nintendo Switch, Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus has captivated audiences with its unique blend of Japanese folklore and charming gameplay.
At its core, Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus is an action-packed platforming adventure that places players in the shoes of Bo, the game’s protagonist. Armed with a shape-shifting staff and magical Daruma dolls, Bo embarks on a thrilling journey through a vibrant world filled with mythical creatures. Upon release, the game garnered positive reviews and earned its place as a standout indie hit. Now, with the announcement of the Tanuki Kabuki DLC, players can anticipate a host of new features to enrich their gameplay experience.
The highlight of this upcoming DLC is undoubtedly the Boss Rush mode, where players will find themselves in the midst of an interactive Kabuki theater setting. Squid Shock Studios has ingeniously designed this mode to offer battles with the game’s formidable bosses while spectators react to the unfolding drama. The more thrilling the spectacle, the better the rewards players can earn, thanks to a system that integrates audience engagement into gameplay. For those who relish a challenge, optional seals and handicaps are available, promising even greater rewards for the bravest players. The Boss Rush mode can be tackled in two unique ways: taking on one boss in Solo Mode or battling through a series of foes in Gauntlet Mode, offering something for every type of player.
Beyond the thrill of the Boss Rush, the Tanuki Kabuki DLC brings with it several exciting new features. Fans can enjoy a new Tanuki Tracker quest, inviting them to hunt for hidden tanuki within the Strange Garden for theater-inspired bonuses like the Combat Rehearsal Room and more. Additionally, players will find a new gachapon machine, offering the chance to collect up to 77 unique Sagara dolls. To top it off, the DLC will feature a Chiptune Remix EP, reimagining the game’s iconic soundtrack with an infectious 8-bit twist.
The anticipation of this DLC coincides perfectly with a current Steam discount for Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus, making now the ideal time for curious gamers to embark on this acclaimed adventure. Until March 20, potential players can purchase the game at a discounted price of $13.99, a 30% reduction that offers an excellent reason to dive into this magical world before the arrival of the new expansion.
