So, what sort of package can you expect for the upcoming DLC? As the name suggests, you can adventure around the Island with a pet buddy. While you can only have one pet out at a time, there are several to discover and choose from. Pets range from ordinary yet fluffy to exotic and (still) fluffy canines and felines. There are over twenty new companions to discover! Mechanically speaking, this means a new inventory equipment slot reserved for your pet where you can freely choose a suitable pet for any situation.
Equipped pets will offer you boosts to your modifiers and help with both combat and wanton destruction. New trinkets, headgear, and food recipes enhance your pet's inherent strengths and weaknesses (while offering possibilities for questionable fashion choices). Your trusty sidekick will also follow your orders via new interaction items, and this is especially helpful when delving deep into the other parts of the DLC: dungeons.
As you might have guessed, your buddies don’t just materialize out of thin air but must be actively searched for in, you guessed it, dungeons! Early on during your new journey, you will meet an exciting yet talkative pair of, err… characters that will give you a direction to pursue and offer a brand new mystery to solve. Dungeons themselves will test both your brain and brawn and require full utilization of your newfound buddies' abilities.
Structurally, this DLC ties into the base game more tightly than previous downloadable content, as the dungeons are hidden in various spots of the main Island. It is a perfect addition to a fresh playthrough or a New Game+ run. Seasoned veterans will also likely find new additions empowering enough not to shy away from them. In addition to all of this, a new open-world map is tied into the story of the DLC that you slowly open up during the new adventure.
As an extra offering, if you happen to own either (or both) of the previous DLCs, you will receive access to bonus content!
