Toem is getting a new region added to the game via free update

[Captain of Outer Space]

A brand new island is coming to Toem

See what you can expect in this upcoming free new content update for this month’s PlayStation Plus Essential title.

blog.playstation.com

Coming to PS5, PS4, Switch, and PC. The PS5 version is currently on PS+ Essential for the month. No release timeframe for this update.

We wanted to use this opportunity to introduce you to the free content update we've been working on for some time that is coming very soon for Toem: a brand new region called Basto!

How do you access the new content you ask? You'll automatically unlock it once you complete the base game, then all you have to do is visit Nana back home in Homelanda!

So what is Basto? It is Toem's biggest region yet! Filled with brand new content like treasure hunting, minigames and spooky stories!

We have been hard at work on this one, gathering up ideas that we didn't have time to finish for the base game as well as new ideas for the region! New quests, NPCs, and Compendium critters to find! All in all, around 1-2h of playtime!

Basto also brings a new camera attachment to the game!

With this new water popper, you can interact with the world of Toem in a whole new way, splash your way into stamps and new adventures! It's also kinda funny looking!

We really wanted to add more interactions to the world to make it feel even more alive! The big bushes, the many objects that react to the water popper, the day & night change that changes where you can go, it all works together to give Basto more life.

Launchable Socks & Jamal Green have also whipped up some brand new tracks to the game, 6 of them in total! We couldn't be happier that they wanted to help us set the atmosphere on Basto with their music!

This update will be a gift to all our players, as thanks for playing. We sincerely hope you enjoy all its changes! We don't quite know exactly when it will drop, but keep Toem installed on your PS5 and you'll be reminded when it does.

More of a good thing is a good thing. Cute game.

 

[Big Chief Crazy Cone]

One of the few PS+ games I've never heard of, read the log line, and downloaded immediately. Only on the first forest area but really enjoying it so far.

Great game for remote play when I'm in between late night feedings with my newborn too

 

[Moksha]

Loved Toem, I'll be jumping back in for sure!

 

[Chessguy1]

charming little game, plat in a few hours but fun all the way through.

i already went ahead and deleted it after i completed it, but downloading it right now to keep and anticipate the update.

 

[DaftCorgi]

One of the better indies I played last year. I'll definitely play the new content!

Having just one more area was exactly what I wanted from the base game, hyyyype!
And it's neat to see it crossover into Sackboy.

 

[MeltedDreams]

Great. This game was pleasant surprise. It's relaxing and fun to do all short quests.
More people should give it a try on PS Plus.

 

[Wouwie]

Looking forward to explore the new island.

The update is now available on PS5 (version 3.0).

Downloading now.

11 new trophies too, cool.

 

[Diarrhea Day-Lewis]

Damn need to play asap. Looks like a mix of bugsnax, alba and short hike which is perfect

 

[Chessguy1]

awesome news, just saw the free dlc came out via the game news thing on ps5, which i usually don't find helpful, so that was nice.

time to hop back in, looks like a decent amount of content.

 

[Mr_F_Snowman]

Been keeping an eye out for a sale on this, now 50% off on Switch so going to jump in. This update sounds like a nice bonus!

 

[Wouwie]

I played a bit of it on PS5, turned off my PS5 and now i'm stuck on an infinite loading screen when i select continue on the main menu. I might have just been unlucky though but it seems my save file isn't loading anymore.

Same here 😂. I never use that but for some reason today I did.

 

[SUBZERO-08]

Been having fun with this so far. The trophies don't seem to be working though, the in-game overlay appears but the trophies don't actually unlock. Anyone else?

 

[Benzychenz]

Oh wow I missed this news! Played it a few months ago and it's phenomenal, will play the new area once I'm done with Xenoblade 3.

 

[DanGo]

Whoa. I assumed when the announcement said they couldn't provide a date for the update, I assumed it was months away, not imminent. Very cool.

Developers have apparently said in their discord that they've fixed it and the patch will come out 'as soon as possible'.

With it having in-game achievements hopefully that means when you open the game post-fix that those trophies will pop automatically.

 

[BeeDog]

I just noticed a 3.01 patch dropped, maybe it fixes the trophies.

 

[rahji]

Update 3.01 fixed the trophies for me, nice!

 

[Diogo Arez]

Played a bit of the new update today and loved it, all around quality, hopefully I don't need a guide for the more obscure stuff and later find them by myself

 

[Nesther]

Getting hit with infinite loading screens since the 3.01 hotfix 🥲

So i'm not the only one. I got this with version 3.00 and i can't play anymore.

edit: seems the developer is already aware of this problem.

 

[Wouwie]

None of the patches solved the infinite loading bug on PS5 for me. It seems the developer is giving up on it (understandable, i guess) and has added an option to skip the base game after creating a new game.

 

[DanGo]

Yeah, the new patch didn't work for me. Oh well. It's a great game, and not particularly long. I'll just replay the base game and get back to the new region again. No hard feelings with the devs.
