Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time celebrates reaching half a million copies sold with the release of a free DLC. The cozy adventure game about decorating and dragons is the latest hit by the studio, which made the Ghibli-esque Ni No Kuni games and Professor Layton puzzlers. The newest entry in its roster of games is winning players over with its cute style and deep story, launching it to an early success.

Level 5's newest title is already hitting milestones despite only leaving Early Access three days ago, with the game hitting 500,000 copies sold, according to the Fantasy Life X . The game entered Early Access on May 18 and was officially released three days later, on May 21. With this huge achievement under its belt, Level 5 has announced that Fantasy Life i will release a free DLC that will "update the world," based on a translation of the official Fantasy Life website.

The company has also voiced its intent to continue providing updates to Fantasy Life i and its fans long into the game's lifespan.

Fantasy Life i Wins Fans Over With Cozy RPG Elements

Save The World And Beautify Your Home

Fantasy Life i is a "slow-life RPG" that has elements of cozy games, like house and island decorating, combined with Final Fantasy-esque adventuring. The protagonist is an adventurer who s an archaeological expedition on a quest to study dragon fossils. Along the way, the team finds a mysterious abandoned island and a message from a girl asking for their help in saving the world.

Players will unravel the mystery of the island and what led to its downfall by jumping through time and switching between 14 jobs (called "Lives" in-game) at will. As with many cozy games, players can also fish, cook, and decorate their home and island village. The combination of wholesome, cozy gaming and a heartwarming tale about dragons has helped launch Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time as a huge success, and the free DLC will improve on it even more.
