Temtem, the Pokemon-style creature collector slash battling game that also happens to be an MMO, just celebrated its exit from Steam Early Access. Temtem 1.0 is now available with a huge update that completes the game with an endgame island, improvements to the story campaign, and a ton of slightly unexpected monetization.

Some players have felt the need to call out Crema for implementing a paid battle pass because of Temtem's price, which has risen from £32/$35 in early access to £40/$45 now it's entered 1.0. Although the battle pass does have a free element to it, Crema have now introduced a premium currency called Novas that you’ll need to pay real money for to purchase the season’s premium battle pass. Phrases such as “corporate greed” and “corruption” are being bandied around on the game’s Steam community. Others are pointing out there’s also a shop for premium cosmetics and the battle pass is time-gated. The community seems split on the battle pass issue though, with some players encouraging Crema to keep it so they can support the game.

In a post from yesterday, Tsukki further outlines some new updates coming to the battle pass, including an immediate doubling of pass XP earnings from defeating and capturing wild Tems and an adjustment arriving in a patch sometime next week that will also grant pass XP from defeating NPC tamers. Additionally, Tsukki confirmed that cosmetics that are pass exclusive will also be added to the game’s cash shop a year after its arrival to the pass. Finally, the devs are continuing to take in feedback about pass XP earnings overall and considering changing their formulas.

In addition, the paid battle pass also includes enough Novas to purchase the next season's pass, so completing the battle pass provides users with "an endless loop of free battle passes."

Temtem costs £40/€45/€45 on Steam and Humble. Hayden should have some thoughts on Temtem 1.0 soon, now the game’s out of early access. Be on the lookout for those later today.
