  • The main crossover quest launches February 14, bringing the Tree of Harmony to Whale Island for a cooperative mission to reawaken it and return it to Equestria.
  • XD’s Steam store description states AI is used to reinterpret and redraw snapshot images in puzzle gameplay and to translate in-game chat between languages.
  • Some Steam user reviews accuse the developer of inadequate prior disclosure of generative-AI use and express disappointment with the forthcoming PC release.
