Bo: Path Of The Teal Lotus Lands Update Bug-Squishing On Switch, Here Are The Patch Notes
We had a great time with Bo: The path of the blue lotus when it launched on Switch last month, and now developer Squid Shock Studios has released the first update for the console to make things smoother.
The main focus seems to be on annoying bugs and glitches this time around, with the studio reporting that all console versions are now in sync with what you’ll find on PC. Changes include making maps more readable, more precise attack animations, text tweaks, and more.
This update follows a statement from Squid Shock last month, in which the studio confessed Future patches may be difficult after publisher Humble Games effectively shut down. Along with today’s patch notes, Art and Design Director Chris Stair seems to suggest that things are back on track:
We are truly grateful for our players’ patience during this time and look forward to making continued improvements over time, now that our backend access has been restored. Working with the new team at Humble, we look forward to what’s coming to the game.
You can find all the bugs targeted on the Switch in the following patch notes from Squid Shock.
