Teal Lotus DLC Unveiled

Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus is gearing up for an exciting expansion with the announcement of The Tanuki Kabuki DLC, scheduled for arrival in 2025. Developed by Squid Shock Studios, this DLC is set to add even more depth to the beloved action platformer, which first made its debut in July 2024 across various platforms including PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.

In Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus, players embark on a thrilling journey as Bo, exploring a world rich with Japanese folklore and facing fearsome mythical creatures. The game equips players with a shape-shifting staff and magical Daruma dolls, tools essential for overcoming a diverse array of enemies. Critically acclaimed upon release, this indie gem quickly rose to prominence, earning accolades within the gaming community for its engaging gameplay and rich storytelling. Now, with the announcement of new content through the upcoming DLC, fans have even more to look forward to.

Scheduled to roll out on Steam first, with a console release expected later, the Tanuki Kabuki DLC introduces a standout feature: the Boss Rush mode. Billed as an “interactive Kabuki theater experience,” this mode offers players the opportunity to tackle bosses in front of a live audience. Successfully engaging the crowd can result in greater rewards, a unique twist that promises to elevate the gaming experience. Players can further ramp up the challenge through optional seals and self-imposed handicaps, each offering their own set of enhanced rewards. Gamers can choose between tackling one boss at a time in Solo Mode or facing multiple bosses consecutively in Gauntlet Mode.

Alongside the Boss Rush mode, the DLC brings additional content to the table. The Tanuki Tracker quest invites players on a quest through the Strange Garden, where they must locate hidden tanuki in exchange for Kabuki theater-themed bonuses like a Combat Rehearsal Room and a Tanuki Kabuki Band. In addition, a gachapon machine will offer players up to 77 unique Sagara dolls. Fans of the soundtrack can also look forward to the Chiptune Remix EP, which gives familiar tracks from the game a nostalgic 8-bit makeover.

Timed with this enticing DLC reveal is a Steam discount, inviting players to dive into Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus at a reduced price of $13.99, a full 30% off. This offer, which runs until March 20 at 10 AM PST (1 PM EST), gives newcomers an ideal opportunity to experience the acclaimed title before the DLC drops.
