About

“Song of the Sabers” is the first major content update for Slime Rancher 2, where plucky rancher Beatrix LeBeau explores new adventures on a mysterious, glacial island off the coast of Ember Valley known as Powderfall Bluffs. As if it were a giant, icy time capsule, Beatrix discovers a thriving community of prehistoric Saber Slimes and Thundercluck chickens within, as well as a treasure trove of new resources for crafting and strange, auroral anomalies scattered about the zone. Players will need to keep their heads low because slimes love a good snowball fight!

Key Features

• Explore a New Biome – Powderfall Bluffs, a prehistoric frozen island that has mysteriously emerged from the Slime Sea.
• Wrangle New Slimes – Saber Slimes are a ferocious blast from the past! Thought to be long extinct, these prehistoric predators now stalk Thundercluck chickens among snowdrifts of Powderfall Bluffs.
• Snowball Fights – Slimes love to play in the snow and won’t hesitate to engage in a snowball fight with you and other slimes!
• Discover Auroral Anomalies – Phantom-like flora and bridges allow you to reach new heights along the icy mountains of Powderfall Bluffs, but act fast before they vanish with the dawn.
• Build New Gadgets – Start an icy dust-up anywhere with the Snowball Machine, or capture the spirit of winter with a giant snow globe. Powderfall Bluffs offers many new rewards for those that can collect precious resources from its frigid peaks.

Slime Rancher 2 is currently in Early Access for Xbox Series and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store. It is also available via Xbox Game Pass.
