Developer Level 5 has recently announced that Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time will get a “roguelike open world” mode after a free update. The popular Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time has been receiving support since its launch, and this could be one of its largest free additions yet.

Three weeks after its release, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time sold over a million units worldwide. The title sets the players to explore and uncover the secrets of the island of Reveria, fighting, gathering items, and crafting to progress.

Now, Level 5 has teased a new game mode for Fantasy Life i. According to Level 5’s recent announcement, a “roguelike open world” version of Ginormosia will be as free DLC in the near future. Not much has been revealed about the new game mode, including a timeline for its release, but Level 5 teased a new character “who will play a vital role in the story,” which looks like a big, purple bear-like humanoid with wizard clothes.

Upcoming Final Life i Update Will Add 'Roguelike Open World' Mode

The new roguelike mode will be included in the upcoming Fantasy Life i’s “Update the World” DLC, which was announced a few weeks ago. This free DLC promises to bring new recipes, options for players to display gear during multiplayer, and more. It already looked like a great addition before the new game mode was announced, and now it’ll likely be even more exciting for gamers.

The developers have been releasing frequent updates for Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time. Last week, version 1.3.0 of the game came out, fixing some glitches and adding some quality-of-life features like a lock-on function. The update also affected several gameplay features, such as Hagram Build, God’s Touch, and others.

Specifically for Nintendo fans, Fantasy Life i also received a Switch 2 upgrade recently. The upgrade, which costs $2.59 if gamers already have the Switch 1 version of the game, gives players access to features that take full advantage of the Switch 2’s specs, improving the graphics and offering faster loading times.
