Starting with The Teal Mask in September before then going into The Indigo Disk in December 2023, the two-part expansion made up two halves of one story surrounding siblings Kieran and Carmine.

Together, they formed The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, which will now receive its own ending for those that complete certain goals.

Available for a price of £31.39 along with all other the DLC, the new epilogue will be rolled out as an additional incentive for players to buy the expansion. But what will it entail?
