Developer Bytten Studio and publisher Raw Fury have today announced that the Pokémon-style RPG Cassette Beasts will be pressing play on its first major DLC next month as 'Pier of the Unknown' comes to Switch on 4th October.
With the perfect vibes for the season, this DLC package looks set to walk a little on the spooky side. You'll be venturing into the brand-new location of Brightside Pier and uncovering a fresh storyline as you uncover the mysteries within — oOoOooo.
The DLC will also add 12 new monsters into the mix, meaning that the number of available full-imagined fusions is about to hit a whopping 19,881 — talk about having options for your squad. There's also a fresh batch of character costume options, so you can look your best while exploring the spooky surroundings.
For a closer look at some of the DLC's features, check out the following from the publishers.
“Pier of the Unknown” DLC Key Features
- A new storyline to unravel
- A spooky new location with three carnival-themed attractions to uncover and explore
- 12 new monsters that can only be found and collected within Brightside Pier, bringing the total number of monsters in game to 141
- Five new character costume options
- Approximately 4-10 hours of additional gameplay
'Pier of the Unknown' will be available on the Switch eShop next month for $6.99 (or your regional equivalent), which seems like a pretty good price for diving back in.
Will you be catching this one in October? Let us know in the comments.

So looks like this one slipped right by me originally. Here I am reading about DLC and I haven’t even touched the core game.
19,881 monsters to collect/fuse?!
As someone who is pretty fed up with what Pokémon has become (or what it insists on remaining) I’m open to the next best thing.
I love Pokémon but it’s become so stale if you’re someone who grew up with it from Red/Blue/Yellow.
Gonna go check this game out more in depth… this and Nexomon have my attention.
@ChromaticDracula Shin Megami Tensei has always been there. Time to catch up.
This game is in desperate need of a physical release.
@ChromaticDracula I'm like you I grew up with red/blue/yellow era and now it feels like they not even trying. That's why I love pass games in the series I can still emulate on my steamdeck. This game does seem interesting and I didn't hear about it until this dlc article.
Played it on game pass and I'm really craving for a physical release I'll buy as soon as it gets announced. The game is pretty nice and has really cool references. I'd say it's one of the most original monster catcher I've played in a long while.
This game is my soundtrack winner of the year and I haven't even played it.
@JagGentlemann sorry to break it to you but I have shin megami tensei 4, 4 apocalypse, and 5.
The difficulty on those games is brutal.
@ChromaticDracula Eh, they're not as hard as people like to claim it to be. Yea theres some bs but if you know what you're doing it's fine usually. Love me some SMT
Has this been fixed yet? I picked this up at launch on switch & performance was atrocious.
@MeatSauce From what I've heard yes, I suggest giving it a try now and seeing it for yourself!
@JohnnyMind Thank you for the update. I hadn’t been paying attention to updates on the switch version I’ll have to give it a shot.
