When the PlayStation 5 was released last November, one of the surprise hits for the system was console exclusiveBugsnax. The game was available through PS Plus on day one, so it was very much primed for success, with its adorable aesthetic doing the rest of the work. The success ofBugsnaxwas a big talking point upon the release of the PlayStation 5, though talk has since died down with many PlayStation gamers moving onto other titles.
However, Bugsnaxlooks set to be involved in gaming discussions once again going forward, as its first DLC has just been announced.Bugsnaxhas needed something to get players to return to the game upon completing its main story, andupcoming DLC The Isle of Bigsnaxmay be the perfect thing. In particular, The Isle of Bigsnax’s customization options could be set to take the game to another level.

Bugsnax’s Success on the PlayStation 5
The game’s success is such that a new free DLC, The Isle of Bigsnax, has recently been revealed forBugsnaxwith a release date of early 2022. This DLC will hopefully bring players back toBugsnaxfollowing its endingby giving them all new content to experience for the first time. Included within The Isle of Bigsnax is of course an all-new island where Bugsnax are able to grow to an enormous stature. Players will also receive a new tool in the Shrink Spice, which will reduce these giant Bugsnax down to regular size, making them catchable. Perhaps most excitingly forBugsnaxplayers is the all-new customization options, as they could change the way gamers playBugsnax.
Bugsnax: The Isle of Bigsnax Customization
In The Isle of Bigsnax, players will be given their own fully-customizable hut where they can receive challenges and decorate to their heart’s desire. This should offer plenty ofreason forBugsnaxplayers to jump back into the gamenext year, but that isn’t all. Bughats are also coming toBugsnax, which can be given to captured Bugsnax to allow for that little extra customization and bit of adorableness. Gamers will have plenty to do when they jump back intoBugsnaxto experience The Isle of Bigsnax for the first time, but the customization options may take up the majority of their time.
The base game ofBugsnaxis fun already, but without the customization options provided by The Isle of Bigsnax, something felt missing. In the base game, players are just visiting the island of Bugsnax, and it shows in the way players experience the game.Bugsnaxseems like the perfect type of game for anAnimal Crossing-style base buildingexperience, and that is hopefully exactly what players will get in The Isle of Bigsnax. In addition, the Bughats should make the act of capturing Bugsnax that little bit more rewarding, with the ability to customize them and make them the player’s own. The Isle of Bigsnax’s customization options look set to bring a marked improvement upon the base game ofBugsnax, which could see players returning for theirBugsnaxfix.
Bugsnaxis available now on PC, PS4, and PS5.
