Over the years, the Soulslike genre has evolved rapidly, gaining a loyal following since 2011’s groundbreaking Dark Souls hit the scene. In just over a decade, this genre has welcomed a wide array of games, each bringing something fresh and innovative to the table. Indie developers have particularly thrived in this niche, crafting unique experiences that challenge conventions, and one gem from last year stands out: Another Crab’s Treasure.
Created by the Seattle-based indie team Aggro Crab, Another Crab’s Treasure offers an accessible yet tough journey. Players take on the role of Kril, a hermit crab on a hilarious mission to reclaim his stolen shell. The game quickly garnered praise for its colorful world, humor, and tight combat mechanics. Those who want more are in for a treat, as Another Crab’s Treasure will soon receive a free ‘Year of the Crab’ update on April 21 in honor of its first anniversary, adding enticing new features that will surely lure fans back in.
Now, let’s dive into what’s new with this update:
### New Game Plus Mode
Fans have eagerly awaited this update, and Aggro Crab is delivering with a New Game Plus mode arriving on April 21. But don’t expect just increased enemy stats—this mode will remix enemy encounters, introduce new items, and give bosses fresh attacks. Additionally, Kril’s Stowaway capacity increases to four, and an exciting set of “Sigil” Stowaways will make their debut.
### Boss Rush Mode
The ‘Year of the Crab’ update introduces another thrilling feature: the boss rush mode. Accessible through “Combat Memories” via a Moon Snail Shell, players will now face the intense challenge of defeating a series of similarly-themed bosses in one go.
### Bestiary
If you ever wanted to take a closer look at the creatures you’ve encountered, you’re in luck. The upcoming Bestiary feature transforms your adventures into a museum-like experience, allowing you to explore and study the game’s enemies and bosses in detail.
### New Upgrades
While the trailer teased new upgrades, the specifics remain a tantalizing mystery. We do know Kril’s trusty Fork weapon is getting some enhancements, though we await further details on other potential upgrades.
### New Costumes
Dress Kril in style with a variety of new costumes showcased in a dynamic trailer montage. The options range from fun outfits like a caveman and a princess, to unique styles like a wizard and a retro low-poly look reminiscent of PS1-era graphics.
### New Encounters
There’s no shortage of fresh challenges either, as new enemy encounters add excitement and unpredictability. Get ready to face off against formidable foes like a massive sandworm, seen dramatically emerging from the ground.
### A New Boss Fight
Perhaps most intriguing is the hint of a new boss fight. Though details are scant, Aggro Crab has cheekily mentioned that the boss “totally deserves it”—a statement that only heightens anticipation.
For gamers on Steam, there’s even more to look forward to with new achievements and community trading cards set to roll out.
Physical editions for PS5 and Nintendo Switch are also on the horizon, set for release by iam8bit in 2025. So gear up and get ready to dive back into the vibrant and challenging world of Another Crab’s Treasure.
