Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure is an adventure crafting game set on a mysterious island full of remnants of the past and magical creatures, and pirates!

Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure builds on the success of the Earthlock RPGs, taking the rich world-building and magical setting of the franchise into new territory.

Taking inspiration from titles like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley, Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure offers a unique take on the genre, adding to compelling resource gathering and crafting systems with perilous pirate camps, the ability to enlist the unique talents of the island’s wildlife to help you out and many more exciting additions to be announced.

Set on a deserted island, the game tasks players with exploring its diverse and intriguing landscape as they collect resources for crafting and befriend wildlife to employ their unique abilities to progress to new areas of the island. They will discover ancient ruins from a bygone civilization, deal with treasure-hungry pirates, and unlock a host of different biomes, ranging from icy mountains and parched deserts, to dense jungles and humid swamps, as they uncover the secrets the island has to offer.

Publisher Jetpack Collective and Snowcastle Games are pleased to announce that their cosy co-op adventure, Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure, will be releasing on PlayStation and Xbox on March 21st. The game will be a de-facto 1.5 version of Ikonei Island, thanks to the free Blooming Beginnings update, hitting the same day on PC.

Snowcastle has been updating Ikonei Island since its release on PC in response to player feedback and is pleased to now be able to offer a more radical revamp to the experience with Blooming Beginnings as the game hits PlayStation and Xbox. The update offers vastly improved onboarding, including a brand new opening to the game in a new area of the map, new UI, a reworked system to make farming easier, changes to make it easier to keep companions happy, a new enemy called the Vipeagon, the introduction of puzzles and more.

Easter Event: Coco-Cloudberry Craze!

Ikonei Island gets regular seasonal updates and, with Easter on the horizon, players can look forward to our fourth seasonal event “Coco-Cloudberry Craze”, kicking off on March 28th in time for Easter/Sakura Season. Coco-Cloudberry Craze adds a brand new quest. The Pebblefluff has arrived on Ikonei. Help him find all the Chocolate eggs hidden around the island, and get the new Coco-cloudberries from Sariel to make your own delicious easter treats. Along with the new Coco-Cloudberry Blossom plant, the update adds a host of wearable and placeable items, from delightful dungarees and picnic baskets to brilliant bouquets and pretty polka dot shirts.  Plus Steam players who missed out on the earlier seasonal content will now be able to acquire the additional assets through our new DLC bundles.

“We have to thank our community for their incredible support and feedback and without doubt they have helped make Ikonei Island into a better game than it was at launch,” said Bendick Stang, CEO Snowcastle Games. “With our Blooming Beginnings update and the launch of the game on PlayStation and Xbox, we are effectively releasing a 1.5 version of Ikonei Island which takes it to a whole new level. We can’t wait for you all to explore the island and experience it for yourselves!”

Players will also have the opportunity to make the island their own. An upgradable hamlet serves as a base of operations and unique placeable items allow you to customize the island to your liking.
