A Hat In Time s new DLC is free today and turns up the heat on an arctic cruise

A Hat in Time - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Dominic Tarason)

A Hat In Time might play second fiddle to Super Mario Odyssey these days, but there’s strong praise in that faint damning. Gears For Breakfast crafted a cheerful, bouncy little romp of a platformer, full of shiny gubbins to grab and strange characters to meet. It’s just a little on the short and easy side – or was>. Seal The Deal adds another story chapter set aboard a seal-crewed cruise liner, plus a brutally hard New Game+ mode called Death Wish. After tomorrow it’ll cost money, but for today you can grab it free if you own A Hat In Time.

At the time of writing, you’ve got a bit over 30 hours to claim Seal The Deal free on Steam or GOG. Hop to it. Below, a trailer showing off some of the goodies contained within.

Co-op is coming to A Hat In Time, plus DLC featuring new challenges and marine mammals

A Hat in Time - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Dominic Tarason)

Even if Mario’s resurgence stole a bit of its thunder, A Hat In Time remains one of the PC’s better 3D platformers, if a bit short and easy. The upcoming Seal The Deal DLC – due out on September 13th – addresses both points. Developers Gears For Breakfast are adding a new chapter to the story (set aboard an arctic cruise liner run by seals) and an extra tough New Game+ mode called Death Wish. It’ll be free for 24 hours at launch, although it will cost money after that. Launching alongside the expansion is a local co-op mode, free for all.

A Hat in Time is heading to Switch "soon"

A Hat in Time

Developer Gears for Breakfast's delightfully old-school 3D platformer A Hat in Time is heading to Switch, and there's new DLC coming to PC next month too.

In terms of the Switch release, there's admittedly not a lot to share right now: according to Gears for Breakfast's news-packed Gamescom announcement video, A Hat in Time is definitely on its way to Nintendo Switch and is simply "coming soon".

Moving onto more substantially divulged matters, however, A Hat in Time's new DLC, which was a stretch goal during the game's 2013 Kickstarter campaign, is called Seal the Deal, and offers a brand-new chapter's worth of exploratory platform action - this time aboard a luxurious cruise liner bound for the Arctic and staffed (inevitably) by seals.
