Blooming Beginnings For Ikonei Island As Game Debuts On PlayStation & Xbox March 21st
Massive free update hits PC the same day to add new content, a brand new opening section and much more to cozy island adventure
Oslo, Norway - March 11th, 2024 - Publisher Jetpack Collective and Snowcastle Games are pleased to announce that their cosy co-op adventure, Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure, will be releasing on PlayStation and Xbox on March 21st. The game will be a de-facto 1.5 version of Ikonei Island, thanks to the free Blooming Beginnings update, hitting the same day on PC.
Snowcastle has been updating Ikonei Island since its release on PC in response to player feedback and is pleased to now be able to offer a more radical revamp to the experience with Blooming Beginnings as the game hits PlayStation and Xbox. The update offers vastly improved onboarding, including a brand new opening to the game in a new area of the map, new UI, a reworked system to make farming easier, changes to make it easier to keep companions happy, a new enemy called the Vipeagon, the introduction of puzzles and more.
Ikonei Island is a cosy adventure where you explore the beautiful island, collecting and crafting materials to build up a central hamlet and craft a charming home. On your adventure, you will bond with magical creatures that you can take control of to harness their abilities, helping you on your quest to uncover hidden mysteries and access new parts of the island, farm the land for resources, battle pirates and more.
Easter Event: Coco-Cloudberry Craze!
Ikonei Island gets regular seasonal updates and, with Easter on the horizon, players can look forward to our fourth seasonal event "Coco-Cloudberry Craze", kicking off on March 28th in time for Easter/Sakura Season. Coco-Cloudberry Craze adds a brand new quest. The Pebblefluff has arrived on Ikonei. Help him find all the Chocolate eggs hidden around the island, and get the new Coco-cloudberries from Sariel to make your own delicious easter treats. Along with the new Coco-Cloudberry Blossom plant, the update adds a host of wearable and placeable items, from delightful dungarees and picnic baskets to brilliant bouquets and pretty polka dot shirts. Plus Steam players who missed out on the earlier seasonal content will now be able to acquire the additional assets through our new DLC bundles.
"We have to thank our community for their incredible support and feedback and without doubt they have helped make Ikonei Island into a better game than it was at launch," said Bendick Stang, CEO Snowcastle Games. "With our Blooming Beginnings update and the launch of the game on PlayStation and Xbox, we are effectively releasing a 1.5 version of Ikonei Island which takes it to a whole new level. We can't wait for you all to explore the island and experience it for yourselves!"
