Terra Nil heats up with the new Heatwave update featuring new wildlife and maps
  • Heatwave update adds 13 new animal species and a photography mode
  • Three fresh maps introduce new challenges
  • New eco-tools like Xerophytium also added

The critically acclaimed environmental strategy game Terra Nil has just received its hottest expansion yet. The Heatwave update, available now for Netflix members on mobile, brings a scorching new region to restore, wildlife to photograph, and eco-tech to master, all for free. It’s a perfect excuse to jump in if you haven’t done much after the Vita Nova update. 

The Heatwave update in Terra Nil expands that experience with 13 new animal species, including crocodiles, elephants, hyenas, and vultures, all appearing more naturally in the restored ecosystem and staying visible for longer. You can also make use of a new photography mode to snap wildlife in their revitalised landscapes, with a scoring system rewarding timing and composition skills.

Three new maps, Parched Dunes, Canyon Peaks, and Fracked Floodplain, offer new environmental puzzles, from bridging vast canyons to extinguishing oil fires. Helping you along the way are new eco-tools like the remotely operated land recycling bot and the Xerophytium, a special structure for restoring cactus biomes in arid climates.

In Terra Nil, you work to transform lifeless wastelands into vibrant ecosystems. Using advanced eco-technology, you’ll purify soil, create wetlands, forests, and wildflower meadows, and restore oceans. Once the environment thrives again, you recycle every machine you’ve placed, ensuring the land is left untouched.

Every playthrough is distinct thanks to procedurally generated maps, with terrains ranging from winding rivers to mountainous peaks. Hand-painted visuals, an atmospheric soundtrack, and a relaxing pace make Terra Nil as much a meditative escape as it is a strategic puzzle. All you require to dive into this recycling adventure is an active Netflix subscription.
