From the somewhat normal to the outright ludicrous, since its launch almost a year ago, Two Point Campus has enabled players to train the next generation of virtual students in in-demand fields such as knighthood, gastronomy, wizardry, archaeology and spycraft. A bit more aligned with reality, albeit still embracing the game’s quirky context and concepts, Two Point Studios and SEGA have confirmed that Two Point Campus: Medical School is due to launch across all platforms as paid DLC starting 17 August 2023.
Seeking to “draw the same level of “(harken) back to the manic majesty of the original Two Point Hospital“, those who own this DLC will be able to access new levels, new gameplay mechanics and lots of “icky” illnesses to treat.
Players will start their educational journeys at the idyllic Lake Tumble, where they’ll meet Two Point County’s roaming remedy master Vitality Johnson. Before long, you’ll be shipped off to Molten Rock, where an ancient volcano is turning up the heat on sickly visitors and medical staff – and that’s before you even start to deal with Dr. Briney Seadog and her band of pirates. Finally, you’ll come face to face once again with Bartholomew F. Yeti at Pointy Peak, where the only things more chilling than the weather are their thermometers.
Two new student types will be introduced in this DLC, Doctors and Nurses. This is in addition to six new room types, and over 60 new items to help teach the medical professionals of tomorrow how to diagnose and de-stress your patient. There’s the Head Clinic and its admittedly daunting Noggin’ Nabber, or the Psychiatry room and its much less threatening sofa. You’ll have plenty of returning illnesses to determine, like a classic case of “Brain Farts” or “Lightheadedness”.
New challenges will also be opened up for players to undertake. If your patients’ health takes a nosedive, they may come back as ghosts to haunt the halls, forcing your already overworked janitorial staff to clean up the spooky (and sticky) mess. Leave your medical machinery running without proper care and you’ll run the risk of burning the whole place down. Deal with massive influxes of patients during emergencies, with the occasional arrival via helipad, or swab the deck with pesky pirate practitioners who are looking for more than one way to cut costs.
Two Point Campus: Medical School will be available to purchase from 17 August 2023, and since it is DLC, does require at least the base game to play. The game is now available on the PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X.
