Paleo Pines Reveals Halloween DLC Plans

Key Takeaways

  • Paleo Pines has released the Trick or Treat and Spooktacular DLCs with Halloween-themed content like spooky-colored dinos.
  • The free Pumpkin Patch update added a jack-o’-lantern decor item, introduced a new “strength” boost, and increased spawn rates for Albino and Melanistic ultra-rares.
  • A plushie of Boo, the Albino Styracosaurus, will be available for pre-order on October 1.

As a gamer who’s been around the block more times than a well-trodden dinosaur trail, I’ve seen my fair share of seasonal updates in games, but none quite as unique and intriguing as the ones Paleo Pines is dishing out this Halloween. The Trick or Treat and Spooktacular DLCs are not just a treat for the eyes with their spooky-colored dinos, but also a fun way to engage in some trick-or-treating activities within the game.

Before the arrival of Halloween, Paleo Pines has disclosed some eerie game content for fans to explore. Similar to other games, developer Italic Pig is embracing the Halloween atmosphere by introducing DLC that is centered around this October holiday. The freshly released content is now accessible on PC, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and Switch.

Launched in September 2023, “Paleo Pines” is a farming simulation game that introduces a prehistoric twist into the beloved comfort genre of video games. As implied by its title, “Paleo Pines” allows gamers to form friendships with dinosaurs and design a peaceful haven on an island. As players tame their dino companions, they can utilize their distinct skills to facilitate farming and boost productivity. Alongside the dinosaur husbandry, there are other characters for players to meet and befriend, as well as various regions of the world to discover. Since its initial launch, the game has undergone multiple updates; however, the developer recently introduced new content tailored for the spooky season.

As Halloween draws nearer, approximately a month from now, Paleo Pines has unveiled two distinct Downloadable Content (DLC) packs for their game: Trick or Treat and Spooktacular. Each of these DLCs is priced at $3.99 and offers a range of Halloween-themed content.

Apart from the two DLC expansions, Paleo Pines’ creator has rolled out a complimentary game update called The Pumpkin Patch. This update not only fixes numerous glitches but also introduces a jack-o’-lantern decorative item. Furthermore, the frequency of Albino and Melanistic ultra-rarities spawning was enhanced, and a new “strength” boost was incorporated, enabling you to dig up and replant fully mature trees. The update’s notes hint at additional Halloween content being added to the game, which will be live during the week of the celebration.

Beyond the game’s content, Italic Pig has announced that a real-life plush toy modeled after one of Paleo Pine’s dinosaurs is on its way. Through collaboration with Makeship, a plushie featuring Boo, the Albino Styracosaurus, will be up for pre-order starting October 1. This marks another Paleo Pines-themed plushie from Makeship, as other dinosaurs have been previously made available.

Looking forward to discovering what’s next for Paleo Pines over the coming weeks. Here’s hoping that Italic Pig keeps expanding the game with fresh content, especially for fans of the prehistoric farming experience offered by Paleo Pines.

Paleo Pines – 1.5.13 Patch Notes

Big Changes

• Added the Trick or Treat and Spooktacular DLCs.

Introduced an enhancement that allows for the uprooting and replanting of mature trees across the farm, even the towering pines.

• Added special content which is active during the week of Halloween:

◦ Jack-o’-lantern decor item.

◦ Albino and Melanistic ultra-rares are more likely to spawn.

Smaller Fixes

• Fixed particle colors when eating human food.

• Fixed bad nav on several rocks in Dapplewood.

• Optimized windmill and pine tree models.

• Fixed errors when inspecting Willem or Squillem with the journal.

• Paths can no longer be dug up and destroyed by tilling with a dino.

As a fan, I’m thrilled to share that now, I can excavate the pathways previously unreachable by my shovel – like those along the outer ranch fences. This newfound ability brings a whole new level of exploration and landscaping possibilities!

• Fixed being able to attempt to shovel poop with a full inventory if it was on a biome tile.

If any of the first three inventory slots were vacant, I corrected potential issues before adorning the cooking pot with an extra touch.

• Foods which provide multiple boosts are now displayed correctly in the journal and cooking UI.

• Tweaked several dino petting poses.

• Various small optimizations, especially on rainy days.

• Another possible fix for the “Why Can’t I Hold All These Dinos?” achievement (Xbox only).
