1. Sun Haven Patch 1.4: New Region, Kids, Romance Update, and the Black Market
  2.  
  3. Hi everyone, it’s Tavielle here!
  4.  
  5. May came and went faster than usual, it seems. The weather is getting warmer, summer break is upon us, and we know that everyone has been eager for some new content. In other words, it’s the perfect time to release an update!
  6.  
  7. Sun Haven Patch 1.4: New Region, Kids, Romance Update, and the Black Market launches today, and it’s packed to the brim with a brand new region to explore, tons of new features, 9 new DLC packs, and a bunch of fixes. Oh, and there is also full controller support for PCs and Steam Decks now. And did we mention translations for Windows, Mac, and Switch once Sun Haven’s Nintendo Switch port is complete?
  8.  
  9. Yeah. This patch is huge.
  10.  
  11. If you didn’t get the chance to read through our Devblog, we also have news about Sun Haven’s Switch release! Patch 1.4 is the final patch filled with major features that will be released before the Nintendo Switch port releases. This means that no major content will be added to Sun Haven after Patch 1.4 until Sun Haven is released on the Switch!
  12.  
  13. We’ll still be working on Sun Haven updates in the meantime though, so after Sun Haven is on the Switch, we have another big expansion planned! Keep an eye out for more information from us!
