Dangen Entertainment and Moonsprout Games have delighted fans by releasing a surprise update for Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling, marking the game’s fifth anniversary. This fresh version 1.2 update is available across all platforms, including PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, offering players an expanded post-game experience with an array of new challenges.
Originally launched in 2019, Bug Fables is an indie RPG that draws inspiration from Nintendo’s Paper Mario series, particularly the N64 classic and its sequel, The Thousand-Year Door. The game follows the adventures of three bug heroes—Vi, Kabbu, and Leif—on their quest through the diverse landscapes of Bugaria to find the mythical Everlasting Sapling. After initially debuting on the Nintendo Switch in 2019, the game soon spread to other platforms, like PC and PlayStation, a year later. Thanks to its charming characters, engaging combat, and rich post-game content, Bug Fables has received widespread acclaim. Now, five years on, fans have the perfect reason to dive back into this indie gem, with even more content than before.
The newly released version 1.2 is free for players and is packed with exciting features. Among the standout additions is a fresh wave of post-game content featuring new endgame bosses. Players can also hunt down 11 new medals that modify how the game can be played, offering a fresh twist on gameplay.
Additionally, Bug Fables introduces a fishing mechanic allowing players to catch various types of worms from a lake, which are then logged in a special compendium. Alongside this, players can enlist allies to join their team in battles, and enjoy a brand-new music track added to the game’s existing soundtrack.
This update also brings some handy quality-of-life improvements. Notably, players can now manage Vi’s Beemerang more easily in battle, thanks to its new ability to lock onto the nearest eight cardinal directions. The developers have expressed their gratitude to the Bug Fables community for their support over the years, stating that this update is a fantastic opportunity not only for longtime fans to revisit the game but also for newcomers to jump in.
