Slime Rancher 2 Quietly Reveals First Update In Over 5 Months

Slime Rancher 2 just dropped one of the biggest content updates to date for the game, delivering players tons of new content to jump into. As an early access title first released in 2022, this new entry into the Slime Rancher series has sought to take on ambitious new heights from the original release. With a giant new island, new slimes, gadgets, and more all packed in already, there's no telling just how much might be ready before the game's eventual full launch.

Announced back in October, the Monomi Park team has now dropped the latest update for Slime Rancher 2, titled Into The Labyrinth. Unlocking a huge new area known as Grey Labyrinth that's filled with new species of slimes and Prisma Disruptions, players will now have plenty of new things to see and explore that are totally unique to Slime Rancher 2. That's not all either, as there are even more rancher upgrades and gadgets, as well as a deeper insight into the game's full narrative, all of which are ready to be enjoyed right now.

Enjoy New Slimes, Gadgets, A Huge New Area and More

This new update for Slime Rancher 2 is perhaps its largest yet, giving players access to the mysterious and large area known as the Grey Labyrinth, a fantastical zone filled with ruins and beautiful architecture. Boasting puzzles and hidden secrets, there's evidently more than what meets the eye to be found here. This area also adds the phenomena called Prisma Disruptions, viewed as rainbow shimmers that can affect both the environment and resources around them.

With a whole new area also comes wonderful new slimes, some of which cannot even be ranched, giving players new plorts to sell and slimes to discover. Plenty of new upgrades make the gameplay even better too, with 6 key vacpack and player-specific upgrades required for players to enter and explore the Grey Labyrinth to its full glory. All of that is perfectly tied off with the introduction of the person who summoned Beatrix to Rainbow Island, giving players a deeper dive into the full narrative for the first time.
