Big ‘Walkabout Mini Golf’ Update Will Expand Multiplayer Lobbies, Add New Course Later This Month

Walkabout Mini Golf, one of Quest’s top multiplayer games will get its next update come July 28th, a release date which was revealed alongside a new trailer for the next DLC course.

Walkabout Mini Golf developer Mighty Coconut today revealed a July 28th release date for its next DLC mini golf course which is based on the cult classic ’80s film Labyrinth. The release date comes alongside a new trailer showing off the course for the first time.

The studio has announced the DLC course, which includes 18 holes with ‘easy’ and ‘hard’ variants, will be price at $3. Like other courses, it will include new music, 18 ‘lost balls’ to find, and a scavenger hunt which will unlock a unique putter. And like the game’s other paid DLC courses, we expect the new course to offer a ‘friend pass’, which means anyone can play the course for free as long as one person in the group owns it.

Might Coconuts says the Labyrinth course is their largest and most complex to date, and has also teased “expansive mazes and gardens to explore,” along with animated characters from the film. Further, the update will include new avatars inspired by the film for players to use.

The Labyrinth course will be the game’s 5th DLC course and its 13th course overall.

Beyond the new DLC course, the update will also expand Walkabout Mini Golf’s multiplayer lobbies from five to eight players—a nice bonus given the game’s easy room-code lobby system and cross-platform support between Quest, Rift, and Steam.

And just as a reminder, Walkabout Mini Golf is one of the games that support Quest ‘Invite Links’, which are the easiest way to jump into VR with a friend!

Walkabout Mini Golf Adds 8th Course, Featuring New Wind Mechanics

Walkabout Mini Golf adds a new course today called Quixote Valley, available on all supported platforms in a free update.

The course is the game’s eighth, with both a day and night mode available. As you can see from the screenshots and teaser trailer, Quixote Valley is set among a rocky cluster of quaint windmills, a classic staple of most real life mini golf course. In Quixote Valley, you won’t just be dealing with one or two flimsy windmills though — there’s a whole fleet of them to contend with here.

However, the new map also brings with it some appropriate new mechanics. You can’t have windmills without wind, so you can expect to face a bit more resistance from the forces of nature on this map, thanks to the new wind mechanics.  In select areas of the new map, players will now have to account for wind potentially affecting the trajectory of the ball when lining up their shot.

Walkabout Mini Golf started its life as a mobile game, before being ported over to Oculus Quest for release in late 2020. A SteamVR release followed this year in July, with support for cross-platform play. Starting with just four courses at launch, this latest content update rounds out the selection to eight maps, with normal and hard variations for each.

Back in July, Lucas Martell, lead developer of Walkabout Mini Golf, told us that Quixote Valley would be the last course added to the base game as a free update. Future maps will arrive in small DLC packages, the first of which will includes three courses and is already being worked on.

The Quixote Valley update is available now for Walkabout Mini Golf on Oculus Quest and PC VR via Steam.
