Two Point Museum teases new Fantasy Finds DLC and releases meaty update 4.0

Two Point Museum’s first paid DLC is rapidly approaching, but for those not sold on its concept yet, the Devs have treated base game players to their big 4.0 update!

You’ll find bug fixes, quality of life upgrades, and even an entire new museum to curate.

Curators, delve into adventure!

Curators across the planes, it’s time to polish your dice (and if they’re weighted, we’ll know), fluff your woolly hat, and for good measure, brew some dragon fire potions as we delve into the new, exciting adventures in update 4.0.

You can forget your everyday museum curation for now because we’re about to send you to the ends of the County’s map! The first grand adventure takes you deep into the Pointy Mountains; brave the peaks and befriend yetis as you uncover the truth behind what really happened to the mysteriously missing curator from Memento Mile.

Then, dust off the snow (and your dragon fire shields), as you’re whisked away to the fairy tale lands of Scorched Earth. Try not to get too lost in the whimsical enchantment, and remember, never follow a goblin off the beaten track, as there are six new exhibits to discover, and a party to assemble, in the Fantasy Finds taster.

So, what’s new?

Gather a party to embark on a fantastical adventure ahead of our DLC release. The Fantasy Finds free content includes:

The ability to hire new Fantasy Experts

The first three Points of Interest in Scorched Earth: The Fledgling Arms, Fairydale and Wishfell

The first six Fantasy Exhibits

The first seven Fantasy Decor Items

The first five Enlightenment unlocks, through Fantasy Analysis, including a new interactive display.

New guests will begin to appear in museums that contain Fantasy Exhibits

New Fantasy items for the Gift Shop

All other Points of Interest and associated objectives and items will require the full Fantasy Finds DLC, opening 17th July.

Pointy Mountains finale museum level

Three new Twitch Drops: Staff Costumes

Two new Staff Traits

Quality of life changes, including:

The ability to publish job ads for 1, 2 or 3 Experts of a specific type

Botany-themed Humidifier and Heater are available in career mode

More detailed Buzz ratings are now available in tour setup

….and much more!

A (literal) mountain of new content awaits, so let’s delve into our highlights!

The above is a summary of what you can find in the latest update, but if you’re itching for more information before diving in, you can read below.

Fantasy Finds Taster

Well, well, well. It seems our goblin friends have gone a little overboard with the whole “unleash the magic” button. Or perhaps they just really like shiny things, and couldn’t wait? Either way, fantastic news for you, curators! You can now start gathering your party early, in anticipation of the full Fantasy Finds adventure dropping on 17th July.

You can now embark on fairy tale (and slightly fiery) adventures to the first three Points of Interest in Scorched Earth! Unearth a treasure trove of fantastical exhibits and wondrous decor to really bring a tavern vibe to your museums. And the best bit? Everything you unlock from these first POIs is now in the base game, just like magic. It’s not a demo, you see, your hard-earned loot is yours to keep (if you keep the thieves at bay, that is).

To explore the Fantasy Finds campaign, you’ll need to have completed Memento Mile Act 1, our lovely city location. Or if you just can’t wait, you can jump straight into the fantasy fray from the get-go, in sandbox mode.

Allowing players to have a taste of their latest DLC is extremely generous of the dev team, allowing players to have a memento from a pack they may not be able to purchase yet.

Pointy Mountains Finale Level

Alright, curators, prepare yourself for the ultimate test of your curation skills. With your pointiest trowel and fluffiest brush at the ready, it’s time to open the frosted doors to Pointy Mountain.

Your museum career culminates in this brand-new finale museum, perched precariously atop the County’s Pointy Mountains. It’s got snow, it’s got mystery, it’s got yetis, and an incredibly chilly exhibit.

Once you’ve achieved Curator Class VII, this epic final museum unlocks. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to unearth the truth behind that pesky missing curator, who we’d all just assumed had ran off. Best five new stars of gameplay as you befriend yetis to discover a new exhibit and entertain two new guest types, in our largest museum location to date.

Are you ready for the final frontier of museum management? Don’t forget your thermal underwear!

A whole new challenge museum as a free update is crazy, it includes 5 levels of story and quests to embark on the biggest map we have seen yet. It even comes with the added challenge of starting from scratch, no starting money to help get you set-up. It’s time to take out a loan!

Scaling Staff Ads

If you’re keen to jump into adventuring as quickly as possible, speed-run gathering your party of Wizards, Rogues and Bards by hiring multiple experts at once. When posting for a manual job ad, you can now select whether to advertise or 1, 2 or 3 roles at once – no more waiting around for job ads to become available.

We know how frustrating it is to play the negative trait lottery when hiring for roles, so not only can you now advertise for multiple positions at once, but we’ve also had an overhaul of the expert traits table so things are a little more balanced now, and experts will be less likely to have more than one negative trait.

Botany-themed Humidifier & Heater

Whilst not completely invisible, these camouflaged utility items lend themselves to creating immersive botany displays for your guests to enjoy. These items are now available in career mode and become available once the “Overgrowth Jungle” point of interest is unlocked in the Two Point Sea expedition map.

As usual, this update also comes with a load of bug fixes, improvements and optimisation changes. We’ve also upgraded our game engine, Unity, which should bring improvements, too.

Two Point Museum has immediately come back to the forefront of my mind with the devs showering us with so much content. I’ve put about 70 hours into my file and now I know I’ll probably be doubling that with what’s to come.

For all Two Point Museum, stay tuned to GamingTrend!
