The farming game was missing. Disclaimer: Yes, this article contains far too many egg puns.
its initial sales figures "staggered" dev Monomi Park, and the first huge content update – featuring the very serious yolk slime – was released on February 17, with more to come before the game's full launch.
While the Song of the Sabers update brought back the fan-favourite Saber slimes from the first game, the update's patch notes revealed another, redacted, new Slime Rancher 2 slime to hen-tice players back into the game. In an exclusive preview of the update, Monomi Park did warn PCGamesN that this new slime was incredibly rare – and that it most certainly is. I struggled to find my first Yolky Slime, but the good news is that they're not restricted to the new Powderfall Bluffs biome and can be found anywhere on Rainbow Island – if you're lucky. The best place to look out for these cute new egg slimes is around hens' nests as they'll occasionally pop out among their feathered friends.
These egg-cellent Slime Rancher 2 Yolky slimes have a very special use too, which comes in particularly handy alongside the introduction of new Thundercluck chickens. Keep Yolky Slimes somewhere near hens and Roostros, and hens have a chance of laying a giant egg, which not only contains eggs-tra slime food, but might also just provide you with valuable Yolky plorts – the only way to obtain them, no less.
Since the update rolled out, players already can't get enough of the new Yolky slime, with eggs-cited fans on the official Slime Rancher discord even claiming that the cute slime is better than the rare Gold and Lucky Slime Rancher 2 slimes combined.
That's all, yolks! And you'll be pleased to hear that's your last egg pun. As a fan of Slime Rancher 2, you might also like some of our other favourite "awesome things" Monomi Park CEO Nick Popovich has promised in the game's future.
