Hey, not a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a look at the official description:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Follow Alba as she chases a trail of white butterflies deep into the corrupted swamps, only to discover a frightened wolf cub, lost and alone. Determined to save her, Alba must earn the young wolf&#8217;s trust and guide her through the blighted wilderness. Together, they will face new enemies, endure perilous trials, and confront a monstrous force that threatens to tear them apart.<\/p>\n<p>Designed to be experienced after completing the main game, Neva: Prologue offers a deeper challenge and rich narrative for returning players. The expansion introduces three new locations, each featuring unique gameplay mechanics, alongside new challenges, enemies, and intense boss encounters.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, if you&#8217;ve yet to experience the main game, we called Neva &#8220;a spectacular example of art in motion, delivering a thoroughly engrossing platforming experience that\u2019ll stick in your mind long after you\u2019ve rolled credits&#8221; in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/reviews\/switch-eshop\/neva\">9\/10 review<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So yeah, we think it&#8217;s well worth checking out.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/nintendo-switch\/related-articles:176093,172565 @ 1771148484 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p><em>Are you excited to pick up the upcoming Neva expansion?
