If you were a fan of the game’s developing bond between Alba and Neva, the DLC should be right up your alley. This time, Neva’s mother is an absolutely adorable cub who is quite quick to jump into Alba’s arms in the trailer, although you must earn her trust before your budding friendship reaches that stage.

There are going to be plenty of opportunities to do so, however, as the pair will explore three new locations with new challenges, gameplay mechanics, new enemies, and five hidden challenge flowers for those of you looking for a test of your skills. Oh, and don’t get us started on the new boss designs that were showcased. They’re quite impressive and intimidating all at once.

The music is shaping up to be as good as the base as well. All in all, Neva: Prologue looks like it’s going to be a treat for those of you who’ve beaten the original and want new content added to a world that has stayed with us ever since we first visited it. You can check out the release trailer for yourself below. Just be prepared for a cuteness overload when you see the young wolf!

This is when she was still a pup, and in her frightened state, she’s not too keen on immediately trusting the human. What follows is their initial journey together, traveling through three new locations and facing off against new enemies. While it’s best appreciated after finishing the base game, Neva: Prologue is a standalone DLC with its own unique mechanics and bosses.

So, for those who didn’t get their challenge’s worth in the base game, it should offer a more substantial experience. It’s launching for PS4, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch, with more details to be revealed soon.

In the meantime, check out our review for the original Neva here. We gave it a nine out of ten, praising the art direction (which looks just as good as Gris, if not better in places), the environmental design and the storytelling. A few nagging criticisms include Summer feeling somewhat slow-paced and a slow Summer season, but it’s an otherwise accomplished experience.
