KRAFTON JAPAN Co., Ltd. announced today, Thursday, April 23, the release of the Nintendo Switch™ 2 software (digital version) for the survival life simulation game 'Dinkum', and a major update celebrating the 1st anniversary of the official release of the Steam version.
■Release of the Nintendo Switch™ 2 Version
Following the release of the Nintendo Switch™ version of 'Dinkum' in November last year, we have now launched the Nintendo Switch™ 2 software (digital version).
In the Nintendo Switch™ 2 version, you can enjoy 'Dinkum' with visuals optimized for the Nintendo Switch™ 2, including improved frame rates and graphic resolution.
If you own the Nintendo Switch™ version of this title, you can upgrade to the Nintendo Switch™ 2 version for a fee of 100 yen (tax included) through a dedicated upgrade path.
This Nintendo Switch™ version update also includes updates up to the 'Night Market' and 'Animal Footprints', which were well-received in the Steam version.
■Steam Version Update Implemented!
In the Steam version update, a new island, 'Great Bight', has been added.
This island features climbable cliffs, new flora, and diverse terrain, providing players with a new exploration experience. Also, by supplying power to scattered lighthouses, the locations of nearby treasures will be displayed on the map. Furthermore, new decorative items, vehicles, and more have been added.
Additionally, this update introduces convenience improvements and customization features.
A new item, the 'Fuel Stand', allows players to summon vehicles from anywhere. Moreover, new face accessories and a 'Swag Pack' customization system allow players to express their character's individuality more freely.
