LEGO Horizon Adventures Patch Adds Player Progression Screen, Focus Customization

Guerrilla Games has released a new patch for LEGO Horizon Adventures, which fixes bugs and adds a few new features. For instance, a screen for tracking Player Progression, including overall progress in the game, is available. You can also customize the Focus to highlight specific features.

As for fixes, the chance of getting stuck outside levels has reduced. Animals can now eat the fish from the Fishing Pond, and interacting with different customization plots in Mother’s Heart now provides Studs as rewards. Apex Hunts have also received a balancing pass.

For co-op, player ring visibility has improved, and you’ll know who initiated a pause. As for Teersa, one of the unlockable playable characters, she’s received improvements to projectile defense and her hold attack.
