Publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment and developer LEAP Studios today revealed the first DLC pack for the dice-based monster-catching role-playing game Dice peoplescheduled to launch on Switch this fall.

The ‘Will Chimeras Pack’ adds 21 brand new ‘Chimera’ creatures to the game and a bonus ‘Will Talisman’ — a modifier that affects the Chimeras you’ll encounter and recruit throughout your run — to mix up your strategy. There’s also a new set of enchanted gear for even more mid-run customization.

The DLC and free update will be available on Steam today for $4.99, though those looking to jump in on Switch will have to wait until later this year. Both additions are currently set to arrive on Switch “this fall,” but we’ll be keeping an eye out for more specific dates in the coming months.
