Upcoming Games

‘Catan – The Seafarers’ Expansion Coming to iPhone and iPad

Exozet Games recently dropped us a note regarding the opening of a beta test for the upcoming expansion to Catan [$4.99 / HD]. The Seafarers expansion is a nautical themed addon that allows players to build shipping lanes, which work a lot like roads in the existing game. Also, there’s a whole set of new water-based hex tiles to build the game board with.

We don’t have many details yet, but from the looks of it, it’s going to be a DLC expansion pack for the original Catan. Also, like the original, The Seafarers looks like it will be based off the original J2ME version of the game also by Exozet. It’s hard to say when this will actually be released, as if they’re just starting the beta test now it could be weeks or months before it is even submitted to Apple for approval.

Needless to say, as huge fans of the Catan board game, we’re going to keep a close eye on this.
