It's out! We're glad to announce that Shelter Generations now is available for the Nintendo Switch in Europe, and it will come to America in a few hours. We're so excited to get to bring these titles to a console, and we hope you'll enjoy our Lynx family adventures on your couch.
The package includes Shelter 2 with the Mountains DLC, Paws, and their respective soundtracks. Also our two living books; The Lonesome Fog, and Fables from the Den.
We have a launch sale, so it's available the first week for €17.99 / £16.28 / $17.99, and then €19.99 / £18.09 / $19.99 after that.
Unfortunately, these don't sync with Meadow, but we thought that some of you could be interested in this anyway :)
Ready for something cute? Check out our launch trailer here.
We're happy to release this autumn-themed celebration to Meadows' first birthday! (Technically it's tomorrow, October 26th, but we're doing a little head start since it's a wednesday today.)
Whether you were in the beta group, or just picked this up, we hope you'll enjoy the update. See you all in the Meadow!
Content additions

The first animal who never have appeared in another Shelter game, the Hedgehog have now waddled into the Meadow!

Jump around and rejoice in these poofy piles for some autumn feeling.
