HopFrog have released a big free update to their open-world crafting game, Forager.

Forager: Evolved contains both new content, and a collection of popular community mods. Some of the new content includes 9 new structures, and 7 new items. The update also collects 8 of the most popular community mods, and places them in a convenient package that can be downloaded all at once.

You can read more about the update here, and find a launch trailer for the update below.

You can find a rundown of the game (via Steam) below:

Forager is a 2D open world game inspired by exploration, farming and crafting games such as Stardew Valley, Terraria & Zelda.

• Gather, collect and manage resources.
• Craft useful items & structures.
• Build and grow a base out of nothing. Buy land to expand and explore.
• Level up and learn new skills, abilities, and blueprints.
• Solve puzzles, find secrets and raid dungeons!
• Achieve anything you want! The choice is yours, you set your own goals to work towards!

Start small and improve your base, skills, equipment, network of friends (and enemies!) and build your future as you see fit! You can play Forager in a very varied array of playstyles…
