Roots of Pacha will be on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 and 5 on November 28th! Xbox will follow with a release early next year. We are so excited to bring the game to so many more people. Players can join their friends in these Pachan lands no matter which platform they play on with cross-play.
If any Xbox backers would like to change their key to Nintendo Switch, Playstation, or Steam they can update their key request here: https://rootsofpacha.com/orders/. Since console keys are region-dependent, we will follow up soon on how to let us know your region.
We’re so grateful to all who supported us through this process. And of course, thank all the Kickstarter backers who made this all possible.
Tame this ancient animal starting in year two to gather milk or fur. These cuties will have their own unique song for you to play and earn their trust. We have a feeling these animals will play a role in how the game evolves in future updates. 🐮
Take a load off by sitting on your beautiful decorations and get some of that all-important stamina back. It’s a detail we have been wanting to do for a while. 💖
Voda is now a romanceable.We don’t want to spoil too much about her story. But you’ll join her out in the woods with the wolves and take a trip to the jungle.
Did you form a Union too soon? You’ll now be able to break that union if you choose. Your partner will be upset for a bit, but in true Pachan fashion, they will forgive you after some time.
Once you get enough friendship, NPCs will show appreciation for you by sending smoke signals with gifts attached. Some gifts will be recurring with things like bones and fur, while others will be one-of-a-kind.
These one-of-a-kind gifts will include:
- 16 new dishes and their recipes
- 10 new hats/masks
- 11 new furniture pieces
- 2 new accessories.
Decorate your home with your friend's gifts like this cozy bench from Jag or the tree made of tree from Krak. Get fancy new hats like a set of deer antlers from Igrork. Or get enough friendship with Vuak that he gives you a magic ring that makes friendship never decay.
Having the ability to get your own meat was a recurring request by the community and one we wanted to make sure made sense in the current and future state of the game. Many in the community had excellent ideas we considered, some of which we may revisit.
To get your own meat, you can use traps in the Savanna or raise animals to send to Grob for butchering. This is entirely optional as no content is “locked” behind getting meat but you’ll be able to get quality meat to make high-quality dishes. 🔥
With Ada’s new Idea, you can grow herbs and mushrooms with these decorative and useful items. Grow some oregano for your cooking or lavender to get rid of pesky fleas.
Play a trick with Igrork or learn more about Brah and Vor’s brotherly relationship. Get to know Vuak and Maeri’s long history. See a friendlier side of Tetih after she’s had a few of Ron’s brews.
Thirteen new cutscenes have been added to expand the Pachan stories. We hope you enjoy learning more about the world and its people.
The race maps were given a glow-up with a bit more creative polish. We hope you enjoy their new look.
Lots of performance optimizations have been added to the game. We don’t have a cool graphic for this, but it would have to be something like a cave lion jumping over a house. Impressive stuff.
We’ve rebalanced the end game tree fruits, lowering most of their costs significantly. And added a brand new one that makes it so an animal will never get sick again if you give it to it!
Fish will also have quality levels to make high-quality fish dishes.
The game can now also be played in the Japanese language. And as promised, cross-platform play will be available with Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 & 5. Xbox will be coming early next year.
We’ve got two new regions, children growing up, plant and animal evolution, and more in the works. We will keep folks updated along the way as we continue to expand content for the game and fulfill all the kickstarter stretch goals we are all so excited about.
Thank you all for your support. And if you haven’t left a review on Steam, we would greatly appreciate it. It means a lot.
You rock!
