After launching into Early Access back in January, peppy Pokémon-inspired MMO Temtem has been slowly growing in size. Its setting is focused on a group of islands called the Airborne Archipelago, and throughout your journey, you’ll be visiting all six of them, collecting all their local Temtem. During the game’s Early Access development, players have had access to three of these islands, but in the recent 0.6 updates, developer Crema has introduced the fourth island, Kisiwa, complete with new dojo masters, story progression, player housing, and, of course, plenty of new Temtem.
Kisiwa is a world away from the Mediterranean shores, lava caves, and crystal coves of the first three islands. The new area is made up of sun-drenched deserts and rugged cliffs, which means traveling around will require some rock hopping expertise. With Kisiwa’s rough terrain, the grappling hook and the new climbing equipment will get plenty of use, allowing you to climb the sides of cliffs and leap across canyons.
