Developer Bytten Studio and publisher Raw Fury have today announced that the Pokémon-style RPG Cassette Beasts will be pressing play on its first major DLC next month as 'Pier of the Unknown' comes to Switch on 4th October.

With the perfect vibes for the season, this DLC package looks set to walk a little on the spooky side. You'll be venturing into the brand-new location of Brightside Pier and uncovering a fresh storyline as you uncover the mysteries within — oOoOooo.

The DLC will also add 12 new monsters into the mix, meaning that the number of available full-imagined fusions is about to hit a whopping 19,881 — talk about having options for your squad. There's also a fresh batch of character costume options, so you can look your best while exploring the spooky surroundings.
