In the year since Cozy Grove<\/a><\/em> launched, we\u2019ve released several major free content updates, and now we\u2019re excited to announce our biggest addition yet. We\u2019re bringing four new bears, along with new outfits, critters, and music, to Xbox with the New Neighbears<\/em> DLC launching today.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the job of the player as a Spirit Scout in Cozy Grove<\/em> to help every bear work through their individual issues or circumstances. There are 17 distinct bears already in the game, and we made sure the four new bears would feel equally unique and meaningful to our players. All four of the new DLC bears have especially lengthy personal stories with no long waits between their requests and conversations.<\/p>\n

Making new bears for Cozy Grove<\/em> is no small task. We don\u2019t just want to write engaging stories for them; we want our bears to represent real challenges that people face in real life. When you help a bear in Cozy Grove<\/em>, we want it to be both something you enjoy and remember fondly, and also something that gives you a chance to empathize with others. So, without further ado, I\u2019d like to introduce you to the new bears you\u2019ll meet in the New Neighbears<\/em> DLC!<\/p>\n

Lillian McQuill<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shy-as-a-mouse Lillian is a brilliant scientist and lover of origami. She\u2019ll take some coaxing to bring her out of her shell, and even more to start believing in herself.<\/p>\n

\"screenshot\"<\/figure>\n

Beatrice Mellifera<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beatrice is abuzz with excitement to meet you! She\u2019s come to Cozy Grove<\/em> to expand her collection of fish, bugs, and other bits and baubles and she needs your expert collecting guidance to 100% her list.<\/p>\n

\"bear<\/figure>\n

Archie Pawston<\/strong><\/p>\n

Someone needed to bring more party energy to the isle of Cozy Grove, and Archie\u2019s the bear to do it! He\u2019s always looking to entertain and is eager to bring everyone together for a rollicking good time, even if it costs him everything\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Ben<\/figure>\n

Ben Hiberneczek<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ben is determined to become the best version of himself \u2013 he just doesn\u2019t know what that is. There\u2019s so much work to be done, and never enough time for self-reflection. Oh, also, Ben has some special cats. Lots of them. He might need some help with them\u2026<\/p>\n

As I look back on the first year of Cozy Grove<\/em>\u2019slife as a launched game, I feel nothing but gratitude. When we started working on Cozy <\/strong>Grove<\/em>, we didn’t know if many people would want to play a game like this. But not only did plenty of people embrace Cozy Grove<\/em>, it also developed a community of players that is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. It has been my great privilege to spend the past few years of my life making Cozy Grove<\/em> for this community. <\/p>\n

\"bears\"<\/figure>\n

Thanks again, everyone. I can\u2019t wait to hear what you think about your four new friends in the New Neighbears<\/em> DLC!<\/p>\n
