Developer Mokomu announced that the high-difficulty turn-based RPG WhiteClothes will receive a major update, version 2.0, alongside a new paid DLC titled WhiteClothes Purify! on October 30. The game, which features a world populated by beasts, follows the protagonist Milne on a quest to rescue her sister.
The core gameplay involves challenging command-based battles where positioning characters in specific formations is crucial for survival. Players can unlock new skills through a flash system by using familiar weapons and must explore environments to collect Star Candy, which is used to enhance character stats and acquire special abilities.
The upcoming DLC concludes the story and introduces new characters like Shiratama, additional skills, and equipment. A notable new mechanic allows players to brainwash most NPCs to serve as subordinates who provide combat support. The developer estimates that the DLC will bring the total playtime to approximately 80 hours, doubling the original 30 to 40-hour scope.
The version 2.0 update for the base game will introduce quality-of-life improvements, including UI enhancements and new difficulty settings. While the update aims to make the game more accessible, it also adds a high-difficulty Do-M mode for players seeking an intense challenge. The DLC will be priced at 1050 yen including tax.
