Japan, South Korea, and Poland get lower prices; the Middle East, Russia, and Ukraine get higher prices, planned to keep local costs aligned with the US dollar baseline. The changes take effect after the current half-price sale ends. The Home \u0026 Harbor expansion, adding deep-sea base building and the Descendants faction, is still slated for autumn.","whyItMatters":"Daedalic is adjusting what Japanese players pay for Barotrauma just before the Home \u0026 Harbor expansion arrives, which means the DLC's local price will land under the revised rate rather than the old one.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe revision is framed as housekeeping: inflation pushed some regional prices away from the US dollar baseline, and Daedalic wants equivalent pricing across currencies. Three regions move down and three move up. No figure for the size of the Japanese cut was given.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTiming matters more than the direction. The new rates start after the current sale, and Home \u0026amp; Harbor was already scheduled for autumn 2026.
