Curious Expedition heads for new territories. The roguelike expedition simulator will be receiving a console release at the end of March and in early April across all three major console platforms. The announcement was made by the game’s publisher, Thunderful Publishing.
Curious Expedition is set in the late 19th century. Players can team up with various famous personalities to explore uncharted locations and seek out new treasures and scientific discoveries. Every world is procedurally generated, ensuring that no two playthroughs are ever the same.
There’s a lot going on here…
“We’re thrilled to bring Curious Expedition to a brand new audience. Console players will get to experience the “ultimate edition” of the game, which has been improved through more than 50 updates on PC over the course of the past 5 years.” said Riad Djemili, CEO of Maschinen-Mensch.
“We believe the game is a perfect fit for consoles, as it’s structured around short paced sessions, but also provides plenty of depth and replayability, with lots of content to discover and unlock.”
An abandoned ship, lost in the ice? Surely nothing bad will happen when exploring this!
Curious Expedition has been available on Steam since 2016. In this completed version of the game, players will need to plan and equip for each trek, because Fortune favors the prepared. The procedurally generated world doesn’t only apply to the unique map, but also to various events that crop up during each playthrough. Players can explore mysterious temple ruins and loot powerful artifacts, but always with the risk of a serious curse, or negative side effect. Oh, and did we mention there are dinosaurs?
Curious Expedition will be available March 31st for the Sony PlayStation®4, April 2nd for the Nintendo Switch, and finally on April 4th for the Microsoft Xbox One. All versions will be priced at $14.99. We’ll have a full review of the game in a couple of weeks here on Marooners’ Rock.
