TAILS OF IRON Releases Free Expansion, Bright Fir Forest

Odd Bug Studio and United Label have released ‘Bright Fir Forest‘, a free and extensive new expansion to the critically-acclaimed, anthropomorphic adventure-RPG, Tails of Iron. Set after the climactic events of the base campaign, ‘Bright Fir Forest’ sees Rat King Redgi invited by the Squirrels to celebrate the Festival of Leaf Fall… while a new foul and revenge-seeking adversary stands to ruin the celebrations.

In addition to 13 new quests – four story quests and nine side quests, each with their own formidable bosses to overcome – that take Redgi to the heart of Castle Drey, the ancestral home of the Squirrels, Bright Fir Forest also debuts three new challengers at the Mole Arena for the King to vanquish. Furthermore, players will have an even greater choice of weaponry and armor available to forge and use on the battlefield (96 in total), together with more options to customize Redgi’s seat of power – The Crimson Keep – with eight new cosmetic upgrades available. Four new music tracks also feature in an expanded soundtrack, along with three extra achievements/trophies to unlock.
