- content update -
Survive the horrors of The Desolate Land in the Bushside Rangers®: Chapter 1 Overhaul, an all-new content update including overhauled visuals and environments made from the ground up, new content spread throughout the many areas of the Nature Park, in-depth gameplay mechanics originally planned for future Chapters, and (at last!) localization in 6 different languages!
The original Chapter 1 was developed independently by studio head and game director Daniella Garner within the span of a year and currently serves as our “pilot” chapter, with the Chapter 1 Overhaul now becoming the proper introduction to the world of Bushside Rangers and it’s deep, overarching story.
If you enjoyed the original Chapter 1, or even if you didn’t, we highly advise you to wait for the Chapter 1 Overhaul and support us through this journey. It’s been a wild ride so far, but you’ve seen nothing yet…
The planned Release Date for the Chapter 1 Overhaul on Steam and Epic Games Store is:
