DLC for The Oregon Trail…and it’s free? Time to ford the river again!

Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions did the unthinkable and remastered the classic edutainment title The Oregon Trail. Originally released on Apple?s premium game service Apple Arcade, it finally escaped exclusively and landed on PC and the Nintendo Switch. This week the game received DLC which was only released on the Apple Arcade Version. The Cowboys and Critters offers a slew of content which will give players an opportunity to travel the Chisholm Trail, a route which drives cattle from Texas to Kansas. The DLC will also feature new stories about the animals that can be found along the trail, both common and possibly mythical.

All this and more (although is there a mode that emulates the Apple II?s visuals?) will be available for free and on the PC and Switch versions of the title.
