Luma Island is celebrating 600,000 players with a brand new content update that introduces pirates and swashbuckling, as well as a range of quality-of-life features. As announced, Luma Island: Pirates – now available as a free content update for all players – is focussed on expanding the game, and providing new reasons to visit its wild shores.
When the Pirates update lands, players will be able to collect and raise new Lumas, explore a special Pirate Cove full of treasures, take on a new Nautical profession, work on a “redesigned” farm, and make use of a brand new landscape map. Notably, players will also have the option to choose new difficulty settings when this update launches, with three modes – Cozy, Adventure, Hero – to select.
Developer Feel Free Games hasn’t detailed exactly what these modes entail, but you can assume the difficulty loosely correlates to Easy, Medium, Hard for your exploration, combat, and levelling purposes. Those playing the game for its warm, wholesome vibes will likely appreciate the chance to tone down difficulty, and explore in a stress-free environment.
It’s also worth noting the game’s latest update introduces new language options: Turkish, Polish, Dutch, Arabic, and Latin American Spanish.
