The Plucky Squire definitely ranks as one of 2024’s better indie releases, which, considering how many great indie games we’ve got this year, isn’t light praise by any means, though its knack for being a little too heavy on the tutorials did prove to be an issue for many. Developer All Possible Futures, however, is soon set to release an update that will address that.
In a press release, the studio and publisher Devolver Digital have announced that they’ve pushed out a new free update for the action-adventure title’s PC version that adds a new Streamlined Mode, which is described as “a new abridged mode for anyone who’d prefer a less hand-holdy experience.” Streamlined Mode cuts down on camera hints, tutorial dialogue, and other sequences where “control of the game is taken away from you”.
Alongside Streamlined Mode, the update also adds new dialog portraits for major characters and some bug fixes. As mentioned, the patch is available right now on PC, and will be rolling out on consoles “very soon.”
The Plucky Squire is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Read our review of the game through here.
