Console players may have been looking on jealously as Brotato’s Paws & Claws update launched, but there’s finally good news, as the New Dawn update is now available on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox.
Launching on PC last October, the free update adds six new items, a new weapon, save profiles, and icons in character and item descriptions, plus more. Some of my personal favorites are the Codex, which acts as an in-game wiki, and the ban system, letting you block up to eight items from the shop during a run. You can find the full list of additions here.
Be sure to stay tuned, we’ll share the console release date for the Paws & Claws update as soon as it’s announced.

Still with me? Of course you are! If you want to keep reading about great hand-picked roguelikes, this website is absolutely chock-full of them. Head over to the Guides Page for a concentrated hit of roguish games, organised via sub-genre and platform.
What’s more, there are always going to be new lists for emerging trends as well as fresh titles to highlight. This is because my backlog is embarrassingly long, and so I’m always trying to balance the new games that arrive in my inbox with playing the stuff I already have.
