Upcoming Features

The following list of upcoming features is directly taken from the official development roadmap found on the Monomi Park Forums.

Statement from the development roadmap post:

"The following is a broad roadmap of what we expect to develop over the next few content updates. In between these updates there will likely be minor updates, bugfixes and other tweaks.

''Please note that the development roadmap is subject to change and does not include everything in development for Slime Rancher. Additionally, the updates listed below may be released in multiple stages."''

The Ruins
A new zone will be added that bridges the Indigo Quarry and Moss Blanket. It will ultimately become an important element in exploring the world in a future update.

New Slime
A new slime will be added but for now it remains a mystery!

Hello Beatrix
We'll finally be making some art that will finally let you put a face to the name. Hint: she's NOT secretly a corgi.

Letters From Home
We’ll learn a bit more about Beatrix, and what she left behind.

Ranch Expansion
A new ranch expansion with additional empty ranch plots will be added.

The Glass Desert
The Glass Desert acts as Slime Rancher's 'end game' zone and features more explorable space and additional challenges not found in previous zones.

Multiple New Slimes and Resources
New slimes to wrangle, escape, and wrangle again as well as their favorites snacks to collect and grow.

Unimplemented features
Below are features that are present or referenced in the game's code but are not officially implemented in the current update.

Details here are not final, and are subject to change, or may be largely speculation.

Mosaic Slime
Mosaic Slimes are mentioned in the Slimepedia. They are not found elsewhere in the game's code. Their appearance is unknown. They may be added in updates v0.5.0 or v0.6.0.

Meteor Slime
Meteor Slimes are also mentioned in the Slimepedia. Like Mosaic Slimes, they are not found elsewhere in the game's code and their appearance remains unknown. They may be added in updates v0.5.0 or v0.6.0.

Prickle Pear


Prickle Pears. Found in the Slimepedia, their description states: "This is a fruit that knows how to fight back." They are planned to be the favorite of Mosaic Slimes.

Their name is likely an allusion to prickly pears, which grow on Optunia cacti. They may be added in v0.6.0 along with the Glass Desert.

Silver Parsnip


Silver Parsnips. Found in the Slimepedia, their description states: "Like a carrot's rich, sophisticated cousin. Also, it's silver." They are planned to be the favorite of Meteor Slimes.
