Fantasy Preview

A couple of weeks ago the first DLC for Two Point Museum was announced.  The "Fantasy Finds" DLC will feature a new museum and exploration map filled with tons of fun new items and features.  It releases on July 17th, but in case you missed it, they've offered up a bit of a preview in the latest update (4.0) for Two Point Museum!  So what exactly is in the update?

Probably the most exciting feature is a three location preview of the new fantasy themed map called Scorched Earth.  Exploring the new map isn't quite as straight forward as the other locations and has a bit of a DnD twist--rather than sending out a specialized expert and various support staff, you have to cobble together a sort of "party" of typical fantasy classes tailored toward the encounter.  All our favorite fantasy classes are featured--warriors, wizards, bards, and rogues.  There are new guest types and even robbery goblins--speedy little devils who swoop in and snatch your donations.  It's a fun way to check out some of the new features in the upcoming DLC.

The 4.0 update also added a brand new museum!  The Pointy Mountains Museum is a bit of a challenge and starts off totally bare bones--no buildings or funding.  It's up to you to get the ball rolling--taking out loans and setting up the basics of a new museum--oh, and don't forget sponsorship deals.  There are other quality of life changes in the update that are also worth checking out.  I'm enjoying some of the new staff traits (which can be positive or negative) which provide more variety when hiring.

I'm anxiously awaiting the July 17th release of "Fantasy Finds" and should have some gameplay reports next week.  In the meantime, I will be continuing to conquer the Pointy Mountains finale museum and previewing the new content.  There are also some fun summer seasonal items that you can unlock.  If it has been awhile since you've played Two Point Museum or if you're just wanting to check out the new content, now is the perfect time.
