Level-5 Unveils 'The Sinister Broker Bazario’s Schemes' DLC for Fantasy Life i on Nintendo Switch at Tokyo Game Show
Level-5 has officially announced "The Sinister Broker Bazario’s Schemes," a major free DLC expansion for "Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time" during its Tokyo Game Show 2023 presentations.
This eagerly awaited update expands the accessible fantasy RPG, which launched globally for the Nintendo Switch earlier this year, continuing Level-5’s tradition of supporting their releases with significant post-launch content.
Expanding the Fantasy Life Universe on Nintendo Switch
"Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time" debuted on the Nintendo Switch and quickly garnered attention for its blend of life simulation and role-playing gameplay.
Level-5, renowned for franchises such as Professor Layton and Yo-kai Watch, developed the title with the aim to charm both new players and longtime fans of the original Nintendo 3DS Fantasy Life.
The newly revealed expansion, titled "The Sinister Broker Bazario’s Schemes," introduces players to a fresh narrative chapter centered around Ginormosia—an island undergoing a mysterious transformation.
According to an official statement from Level-5, the update enriches the game world with a "darker and more ominous atmosphere," marking a notable shift in the game's storytelling direction.
Meet Bazario and Encounter Fresh Challenges
At the heart of the DLC’s new storyline is Bazario, a character described by Level-5 as carrying a "disquieting grin that hides many secrets." As the plot unfolds, players can expect to investigate the inexplicable changes on Ginormosia, sparked by the glowing of a familiar jewel.
This atmospheric backdrop sets the stage for a series of new challenges and discoveries within the game.
Players can anticipate:
- Battles with previously unseen monsters
- The discovery and use of a mysterious, smoke-emitting artifact
- Access to new equipment and mounts for deeper gameplay customization
In alignment with the game's evolving brand, the release of the DLC will coincide with the unveiling of an updated Fantasy Life i logo.

Level-5 confirmed that "The Sinister Broker Bazario’s Schemes" DLC is scheduled for release in December and will be available as a free download via the Nintendo Switch eShop.
Fans are encouraged to stay tuned to official channels for upcoming trailers and announcements regarding its launch.
With ongoing support and fresh content additions, "Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time" continues to reinforce the studio’s commitment to creative updates and player engagement on Nintendo Switch.
