Not such a nice day at the beach.

The Messenger’s free Picnic Panic DLC is out now

Sabotage today released the Picnic Panic downloadable content update for its retro sidescroller The Messenger. The DLC is free.

The Messenger came out in 2018 for Switch and PC, with a PlayStation 4 version following earlier this year. The 2D game takes inspiration from classics like Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania, and it also has a time-swapping mechanic that has players experiencing 8-bit and 16-bit versions of every level.
