Temtem: Kisiwa Island update bringing new creatures, island and more

Temtem has announced the Kisiwa Island update, adding new creatures, areas, and items to the Pokémon-like MMO. It will arrive tomorrow, July 21. The Kisiwa Island update adds 23 new Temtem with new attack animations, new story missions, a new island and biome, and climbing gear items to get around those new environments.

You can watch a new trailer, exclusive to IGN below:

Focused on an invasion of the Belsoto Clan, led by General X, the island of Kisiwa will see players trying to regain the new island. Obstacles, enemy tamers and new monsters will block your way to victory.

The update will also add quality of life improvements, including new in-game chat options, club management, and in-game titles.

We give the early access version of Temtem a 7/10 review, highlighting its great ideas for improving the Pokémon roster, but mentioning its incompleteness. Hopefully the island of Kisiwa will somehow respond to that concern.
