Temtem, the popular Pokémon-like online game, has recently announced its final major updates for the game. In a lengthy message to the community, developer Crema revealed that Patch 1.7 and Patch 1.8 will be the last major updates. Patch 1.7, set to release in early June, will bring a new season, a new Tamer Pass, balance changes, quality of life updates, and more. Patch 1.8 will follow with additional quality of life updates, balance changes, a renovation of the game’s economy, and other new features.
One of the most significant changes coming with these updates is the removal of monetization. Microtransactions will be eliminated in Patch 1.7, and items that were previously purchasable with ‘Novas’ will now be available for purchase with Feathers. In Patch 1.8, players will have the option to select any Tamer Pass from the past and complete its tracks, all unlockable with Feathers. These changes aim to create a more player-friendly experience and remove any pay-to-win elements from the game.
Despite the final major updates, the developers have assured players that the game’s servers will remain online for the foreseeable future, with no plans for an offline mode. Crema acknowledges that players may feel there is more potential in Temtem, but they are proud of the final product. The game has grown significantly since its inception on Kickstarter in 2018, eventually releasing on the Nintendo Switch in 2022. To date, the development team has introduced 165 Tems and six expansive islands for players to explore, providing hundreds of hours of joy and fun.
In their parting message, Crema expresses their excitement for the growth of Temtem and their satisfaction with the game as a complete experience. While they acknowledge that the game is not perfect and that they have learned a great deal from its development, they are proud of the content and enjoyment it offers to players. The journey from Kickstarter to a fully-fledged game on multiple platforms has been a rewarding one for the team, and they cherish the not-so-little game they have created.
Overall, the future of Temtem looks promising with the final major updates and the removal of monetization. Players can expect a more balanced and player-focused experience as the game continues to evolve and grow. With a passionate development team behind it, Temtem is poised to remain a beloved online gaming experience for years to come.
