Tarsier Studios and publisher THQ Nordic have launched The Prisoner, the first downloadable expansion for the co-op horror adventure Reanimal, on Nintendo Switch 2.
The new DLC introduces two playable characters—The Soldier and The Prisoner—and expands the game’s narrative with fresh areas and scenarios designed to deepen the title’s dread-filled atmosphere.
According to the official overview, players will guide The Soldier and The Prisoner through war-ravaged streets of a place that was once familiar, descending into a disorienting sequence of events that permanently alters their lives.
In journalistic terms: Tarsier says the DLC sends the two new protagonists through devastated urban environments and previously unseen sections of Reanimal’s world, forcing cooperative survival in scenarios that escalate the game’s bleak themes.

- New characters: The Soldier and The Prisoner, both playable in cooperative sessions.
- New areas: Exploration of previously unrevealed parts of the game world, on foot and via other means introduced in the expansion.
