Free Octodad DLC On The Way
After you've broken nearly every object within reach, what's an Octodad to do? According to developer Young Horses, the answer is simple: Get into new kinds of trouble. The studio has announced a batch of free DLC for Octodad: Dadliest Catch just in time for summer, called Octodad Shorts, which puts the awkward cephalopod in a variety of fresh situations.
According to Young Horses, the DLC will include 40 new objectives, and scenarios based on locations including a hospital and restaurant.
Look for it later this summer on PC, PS4, Mac, and Linux.

Our Take
It's tough to argue with free, especially when DLC provides more than a silly hat or a costume swap. It's cool to see that Young Horses is listening to its fans, and giving them what they want. In this case, it's more Octodad.
