After a few years in early access, the full version of Slime Rancher 2 has now launched for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The cozy slime-wrangling and life-simulator game has also been enhanced with the new “A Hero in Time” update, adding several new and returning features to the adventures of Beatrix LeBeau as she tracks down and raises slimes for her ranch.
One of the big additions to the game will be Quantum Drones, a new version of the autonomous devices that can help you run your ranch and explore the world. Developer Monomi Park has also outlined its plans for endgame content, as the Grey Labyrinth will offer players the opportunity to journey to previously unseen areas. Additionally, the 1.0 release of Slime Rancher 2 will add even more areas to explore, new slimes to discover, and gadgets to master.
To celebrate the full release, Monomi Park will offer the game at a discounted price on Steam, as well as an Ultimate Bundle that includes base games for both titles, the original soundtracks, the second volume of the Slime Rancher 2 soundtrack, and more. Themed in-person events are also being scheduled with Boba Guys flagship locations in the US, and you can check where these will be held through this link.
Slime Rancher 2 is one of several big games exiting early access this year, following its arrival in early access all the way back in 2022. One of the biggest will be the 1.0 release of Hades 2–the follow-up to one 2020’s best games–and this will be out on September 25 for PC and Switch consoles.
