At last, after assuring fan’s that Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time’s free DLC would be out "around Christmas", Level-5 has delivered the goods right on time.

Version 2.0.0 is available to download now on Switch 1 & 2 and it includes The Sinister Broker Bazario’s Schemes, an open-world roguelike DLC expansion that adds a new area to the game, Snoozaland. This is available from Chapter 3 onwards in-game.

The patch goes way beyond just a whole boatload of playable content, though. There are five new mounts, new items, weapons, and customisation options, a higher damage cap, an increase in the number of houses you can build at your home base, and the ability to polish tools made by a Blacksmith, Carpenter, and Alchemist.

If you want all of the granulars, then here are the full patch notes from Level-5:
