It adds new creatures and biome-specific variants across five mini-maps, including the cosmic whale Astrocetus, the underwater predator Bloodstalker and the tentacled Palaeoctopus.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tides of Fortune is a pirate-themed expansion developed by Grapeshot Games, Studio Wildcard&#8217;s sister studio. It focuses on boat-building and naval survival mechanics and draws on Grapeshot&#8217;s design work on the 2018 naval title Atlas.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Studio Wildcard wrote that the extra week is needed to &#8220;ensure the experience is where we want it to be across all platforms&#8221; and to complete certification ahead of launch. The team thanked players for their patience and added the extra time will help smooth the rollout.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Genesis Ascended Part One had been tentatively listed for February 2025 in an earlier roadmap before receiving a specific June release date. Both expansions will arrive simultaneously on July 2 on the platforms covered by the certification process.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Studio Wildcard pushed the free Genesis
