Doronko Wanko Expands with Exciting New Content
Bandai Namco Studio has exciting plans for fans of the quirky canine-themed game, Doronko Wanko. This engaging dog simulation, which allows players to embrace the playful chaos of a dirty, mud-flinging Pomeranian, is set to receive paid downloadable content (DLC) along with a planned release on the Nintendo Switch. Both the DLC and the Switch version are expected to launch in Spring 2025. As of now, players can enjoy the free version available on Steam.
Gameplay Overview
In Doronko Wanko, players take on the role of an adorable puppy navigating its pristine family home, which is prepared for a party. However, the curious dog senses a hidden “Good Smell Room,” locked away from its paws. To uncover this secret space, players must unleash their inner chaos—completely dirtying the household through playful antics. Initially, the mud serves as the primary medium for disruption, but as players progress, they will gain access to an array of messier substances, including paint and more. This playful destruction not only builds up a chaotic “damage bill” but also reveals hidden puppy faces throughout the house, unlocking further access to what the dog seeks.
DLC Features and Future Updates
While specific details about the upcoming DLC remain limited, Bandai Namco has announced that players can expect to encounter three new types of dogs once the DLC is purchased. There is still uncertainty regarding whether these characters will introduce unique skills or behaviors, such as enhanced abilities for crafting messes—similar to existing cosmetic hats that assist in the mud-slinging antics of the game. Notably, the Nintendo Switch version of Doronko Wanko will include these DLC characters upon its launch.
