Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time continues to surprise fans with unexpected free content updates. The upcoming DLC for this charming life simulation RPG will introduce an open-world roguelike mode, blending two seemingly opposite genres in a way that could redefine the game’s replay value.
Developer Level 5 recently confirmed the addition through an official blog post, describing it as an “evolved version of Ginormosia” that merges roguelike mechanics with open-world exploration. While specifics remain scarce, the update promises fresh challenges for veterans and approachable content for newcomers. Players can also expect powerful gear, unique mounts, and bizarre collectibles, though whether that includes a rumored “telephone made of butts” remains to be seen.
Beyond the roguelike expansion, the DLC introduces a mysterious new character destined to impact the game’s world, alongside customization options like hairstyles and emotes. Level 5 hasn’t locked in a release date but assures fans the content is coming “as soon as possible.”
The free updates follow the game’s strong commercial performance, having sold over one million copies since its late May launch. To celebrate, the studio is distributing a limited-time gift code unlocking exclusive equipment and a Pegasus mount, though an earlier mix-up accidentally delivered unicorns instead. That error has since been corrected.
Currently available on Steam, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch platforms, Fantasy Life i keeps evolving, proving that life sims can thrive with bold, unexpected twists. Whether the roguelike experiment pays off, players won’t have to wait long to find out.
