Costume Quest 'Grubbins on Ice' DLC Hitting This December

A winter-themed downloadable add-on is coming to Costume Quest at some point in December, a GameSpot-exclusive look has revealed. Grubbins on Ice, as the content is being called, will expand on the game's story, taking place after the events of the RPG, which had you saving your brother or sister from the clutches of the troll-like and candy-obsessed Grubbins.

Grubbins on Ice takes place in a wintry Repugia, an area that game creator Double Fine says is slightly larger than a level in the core game. You'll be plopped into this world during a time of political struggle, one that will conveniently require you to trick-or-treat the area's various houses in order to gather supporters or hurt opposition. A sibling factors into this all as well, but I suggest you check out GameSpot for the full scoop on that.

New costumes and new powers for both battle and world navigation have been confirmed, and as a bonus, Grubbins on Ice will offer fixes for the core game. The text speed will be lowered for us slower folk, select phone posts will become save points, and you'll be able to pause during cut-scenes. Not bad, but it'll cost you an unspecified number of Microsoft Points.

Hey, more Costume Quest! You wanted more, right?

Yeah I think it would be cool to change things up with some door to door caroling, Christmas is my favorite time of year and having a game dedicated to the season and actually being good will be awesome.

The last few comments are right on. A simple switch to christmas caroling would make this way more appealing.

I really loved this game so it's nice to see some new content for it. And also that they will fix some of the minor issues I had with the game like not being able to manually save and the speedy texts. I do hope the price won't be to extreme as the original game was quite expensive for it's length. But still given how much fun I had with it worth it for sure.
