Something tells me there’s a reason behind Coral Island’s decision to wipe Early Access players’ saves. Playing Coral Island’s 1.0 version from scratch lets you enjoy plenty of new in-game features.
The Early Access version already had plenty of content for us to enjoy: a ton of seeds, fish, and romanceable folk. Still, we knew more was coming thanks to Stairway Games’ Kickstarter campaign. That’s why when Coral Island decided to drop the full-release version of the game, all eyes were wary of the changes, upgrades, and new content that would be introduced to the game. Here, you’ll find an outline of all the significant changes you can expect to find in the Coral Island 1.0 version that were not available in the early access version of the game.
Table of ContentsCoral Island’s 1.0 Version welcomes players to the Merfolk Kingdom, introducing Merfolk characters like Denali, Princess Miranjani, and Semeru. Some of them are actually romanceable. Who knows, you might be able to turn into a mermaid at some point.
They’re all an absolute delight to be around, but don’t expect them to be too kind towards a human. We are partly responsible for the undersea pollution, after all.
Once you reach the Merfolk Kingdom, you’ll get access to your own underwater room (with a conveniently placed waypoint) and a brand-new Oracle shop. The Coral Island 1.0 patch notes also speak of a Merfolk Festival, so it seems events aren’t limited to Startlet Town.
During Coral Island’s early access, some characters received seasonal outfits. Mark, for instance, received two new outfits. While I thought the outfit change was a nice breather after each new season, I never expected them to add this feature to all townfolk, even non-romanceable ones.
Each character will now don a new outfit each season, which means fewer clothes for summer and a more cozy look for winter. Either way, you’ll swoon on the 1st day of each month. Characters who like to spend their time at the beach, like Chaem, will also be wearing swimsuits.
The townfolk aren’t the only ones getting new clothing. While switching outfits isn’t anything new, Raphael’s clothing store brings a ton of new outfits for sale. You’ll also be unlocking several farm decor options as you level up and progress through the main storyline. As it stands, there are over 200 decor and 200 clothing options to choose from.

Endnight Games has announced that Sons of the Forest, its sequel to the 2018 survival horror sandbox hit, will exit early access on February 22nd, 2024. In a new tweet, the developer revealed that Shawn Ashmore (who played Jack Joyce in Quantum Break) will voice Timmy LeBlanc, with his role in the game and overarching story expanding.
With the many complaints about Coral Island on console, Stairway Games has now issued Hotfix v1.0-935 for bug and lag fixes on Xbox, as well as shared all the patch notes.
Left 4 Dead's writer Chet Faliszek has explained why he'll never launch a game in early access ever again.

Multiplayer extraction shooter HAWKED will launch in Early Access for PC via Steam and MY.GAMES Launcher on November 30, publisher and developer MY.GAMES announced. PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions will follow in early 2024.
If you’ve made it to winter in Coral Island and are excited for the Winter Festival, you should be extremely cautious about this game-breaking bug players are experiencing.
Coral Island has followed in the footsteps of farming sims of old, providing a wide variety of animals players can raise on their farm. Some will be a great source of income while others are there to keep players company while they work.
Although the Coral Island 1.0 version has excited many new players, many others playing the console versions seemed to leave players online asking for bug fixes.
Love is in the air on Coral Island.
Stairway Games and Humble Games have launched their crowdfunded life/farm sim, Coral Island, out of Early Access and into full release. It’s currently available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, with a Switch version coming later.
Stop me if you've heard this before. You've just arrived in a small village on a secluded island that's fallen into disrepair, and the only thing that can save the town is some complete newbie doing a heck of a lot of farming. Yes, Coral Island has a lot in common with the best cozy games on PC, but those games have a formula for a reason: it works. I played about a dozen hours of Coral Island while it was in early access and except for the time I rage quit because a sprinkler I crafted was mildly disappointing, it's a perfectly enjoyable cozy farming and life sim.
