This update includes a large new area to explore plus various hidden locations to discover. We've also added a riding path along the hills south from the hill-top observatory that connects up to part of the new area.
Other improvements included revised swimming behavior, you can now swim in the direction of your camera for up-down movement in addition to previous controls. There is also tweaks to ensure the movement is now much smoother.
In the screenshot at top of this post is one of the new Vista-Points, note you can see both of the isles of Naupata and Kiokio in the distance (which are both packed with locations to discover). These islands can also be reached by swimming, as this is all one single connected world.
