Content Warning was a major hit when it launched on April Fools’ Day. Granted, the multiplayer survival horror game was free for its first 24 hours on the market, making it easy for over six million players to pick it up. That said, Content Warning‘s twist on Lethal Company-like horror has continued to perform well even though it has an actual price point now. Earlier today, the team at Landfall Publishing dropped Content Warning‘s first major update. Unlike some of the previous balance patches, this update includes a bunch of new content including a new map, several new monsters, and a hat shop.

In the new patch notes, the developers aren’t spoiling the new monsters coming to Content Warning with the update. Considering how important surprise is for those horrific moments, that’s not too surprising. Fortunately, the team is giving you a new Rescue Hook to help deal with the monsters, which should make grabbing that sweet footage even easier. There are also new unlockable Sky Island upgrades, MetaCoins to purchase those upgrades, the previously mentioned hat shop, and much more. Plus, the update includes several bug fixes and baseline improvements to iron out some of the issues players have been running into.
Below, you’ll find the full patch notes for the new update. Content Warning is available now on PC.
