Two Point Museum: Zooseum Release Date
We learned this week that Two Point Museum’s next DLC “Zooseum” will release on December 2. Nintendo Switch 2 players will need to wait until 2026.
Two Point Studios and SEGA Europe are describing the DLC as the “biggest yet” for the game. Devs also dropped some “Free Taster Content,” which “allows players a preview of a select range of areas from the new expansion including, the brand-new museum location, Silverbottom Park, the first star of the Zooseum campaign, access to a new Wildlife Expert, Wildlife-themed decorations and a selection of Zooseum-themed plushies, books, onesies, and even posters for the Gift Shop!”
In Two Point Museum: Zooseum, players will rescue, raise, and rehabilitate a menagerie of marvellous misfits from a Spyglass Giraffe to a Cabin Snail — nursing them back to health before releasing them into the wild. Design immersive natural habitats, create fascinating creature-inspired exhibits, and bring the untamed beauty (and occasional smell) of nature into the heart of Two Point County. Whether you’re caring for cuddly critters or something with considerably sharper teeth, you’ll need compassion, creativity, and a good stockpile of cleaning supplies.
With new facilities, theming options, and fresh gameplay twists, Zooseum transforms your museum into a thriving hub for animal lovers, conservationists, and anyone who’s ever dreamed of giving a Zebra a second chance at life!
The DLC will include:
- A brand-new museum location in the beautiful Silverbottom Park
- New expert type: Wildlife Experts
- A new expedition map: Farflung Isles
- 40+ Wildlife Exhibits including habitat animals & terrarium animals
- A fresh five-star campaign to complete
- New adorable gift shop items
- Three new interactive displays
- New themed items and decorations
- Two new animal-focused rooms: Habitat Enclosure and Wildlife Welfare
Dying Light: The Beast Update 1.4 Drops
Dying Light: The Beast’s largest update dropped this week, bringing “new content, ray tracing, and 400+ of improvements and fixes across gameplay, movement, combat, co-op, audio, and performance, making the game even more immersive and strengthening its position as a leading open world survival horror experience.”
The update includes a New Game+, which can be repeated multiple times, with each completed run further raising the game’s difficulty and granting access to “even stronger and rarer weapons.” The update includes the end-game progression system from Dying Light that extends characters beyond the main skill tree.
“Once players reach Level 15, all earned XP is converted into Legend XP. Higher difficulty settings and higher New Game+ tiers increase XP gains, so the more players challenge themselves, the faster they progress. Each Legend Level grants Legend Points that can be spent on passive upgrades such as increased health, improved combat stats, and stronger Beast Mode performance,” developers explain in a news release.
