Alongside the engine update, players can anticipate new Fantastic Tames and other creatures. A premium map is slated for release in June 2025, which will require a separate purchase. While details about this map are scarce, Studio Wildcard promises more information in the coming months.

In 2026, the excitement continues with *Free Genesis Ascended* and *Bob’s True Tales* Parts One and Two. The year will also introduce three Fantastic Tames and a community-voted free creature. Engaging with the community on the forums will be crucial for those looking to influence the selection of the new creature.
