The first expansion for Mutant Year Zero is now available today for the PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. It's called Seed of Evil and it introduces a new hero, new areas to explore, new story, and "many hours" of new gameplay to enjoy.
In particular, the story for Seed of Evil picks up right where the story in the base game left off. Powerful roots have emerged and are taking over peoples' minds. Your team of mutants will be joined by Big Khan, a "badass, fire breathing moose" that is "skilled at landing critical hits." He brings to the mix unique mutations and interactions with Dux, Bormin, and others.
Seed of Evil is available for $14.99 (USD) on Steam. A Digital Deluxe Edition that includes the original base game and this Seed of Evil expansion is also available now for $44.99. The Deluxe Edition is also available today on the Nintendo Switch. This Switch release is the first time the game has actually appeared on that particular platform. If you somehow got the Switch release early, do note that a launch day patch is out that improves graphics and performance.
The turn-based tactical adventure game received critical acclaim for its gameplay, artwork and captivating characters, when it was released in December 2018. Set in post-apocalyptic Sweden, the player controls a group of mutants searching through the ruins of civilization for salvation or simply something to eat. Using a mixture of stealth and combat strategy, while evolving your characters through a series of interesting mutations, is paramount to overcoming the evil that is threatening to eradicate what is left of decent society.
“Mutant Year Zero is a gem,†says Funcom Chief Product Officer Lawrence Poe. “It has been a privilege to work with our friends at The Bearded Ladies on this project. They have poured all their passion, creativity and humor into this game, and the result is truly special.â€
Haraldur Thormundsson, CEO and self-proclaimed Circus Director at The Bearded Ladies, echoes Poe’s sentiment. “The feedback we got from players after we released the original game was overwhelming, which makes us all the more pleased to offer up Seed of Evil, the continuation of the Mutant year Zero story. We have worked very hard on this and I feel confident that everyone who enjoyed the original game, will enjoy the expansion as well.â€
