The town of Sandrock is about to get even busier with new, snuggly NPCs, but not the romanceable kind. The My Time at Sandrock Monster Whisperer DLC is almost here.

Brace for a sandstorm of content in the cozy RPG My Time at Sandrock, as A massive free update (V1.3) is dropping, along with an exclusive paid expansion called Monster Whisperer DLC. Whether you’re fixated on keeping your workshop as pristine as an oasis or eager to be the freshest face in Sandrock’s endless dunes, this update has something to catch your eye.

My Time At Sandrock Monster Whisperer DLC Release Date and Time

The V1.3 Pets update and Monster Whisperer DLC for My Time at Sandrock launch May 28 at 3 PM GMT+8 (or 9 AM CET / 3 AM EDT) across all platforms at the same time, except for Sandrockers located in Japan. 

Catch ‘Em All

Pathea Games has drawn inspiration from monster-collecting games (you know the ones) and given them a unique Sandrock twist.

Thanks to the Monster Whisperer DLC, you get to become the ultimate monster wrangler in My Time at Sandrock. You can capture unique pets like the adorable Pensky. If you’re a fan of seizing beautiful creatures inside a meatball to make them your own, this DLC is right up your alley. 

You can stock up on different tiers of meatballs in the Boutique Store in City Hall to turn every Sandrock critter into your slav—erm, best buddy.

But You Also Gotta Care for ‘Em All

You can’t just hoard creatures just for funsies. That’d be cruel, and the only cruel thing Pathea Games has ever done is gatekeep Logan’s romance for an entire year. 

The Monster Whisperer DLC brings a new nurturing system to My Time at Sandrock. With it, you can turn the critters you catch into your own. Give them ridiculous names, swap their colors and accessories, and unlock some epic traits. Want your new buddies to gather resources or have your back in battles? Totally your call. 

A Spouse? No, Thanks. Pets, on the Other Hand…

The advanced pet system is part of a free update, available to everyone, while the DLC gives you even more pet options. If you’re chummy enough with a domestic animal and hit a certain affection level, the “Adopt” option pops up. Just tap the bubble, and boom, they’re yours. This may or may not include Dr. Fang’s X. 

They can also tag along when you’re progressing stories, gathering resources, or even trekking into the desert. But in fights, they’re your trusty sidekicks.

A pet’s combat skills depend on its level and quality, so leveling them up is a must. Strengthen your bond, level them up, and you’ll have some seriously powerful pets. This new system makes the My Time at Sandrock DLC worth investing in.
