Two Point Hospital Close Encounters DLC Arrives on Steam

Written by Brandon Hofer on August 29, 2019

News: In addition to the new DLC arriving, you can play the base game for free throughout the weekend on Steam.

Some new content has just arrived for Two Point Hospital and it is out of this world. Two Point Hospital celebrates its first anniversary this week, looking back at a fantastic year filled with humor, lots of unusual illnesses and cured and deceased patients. To help celebrate the occasion Two Point Studios has decided to bring lots of new stuff to Two Point Hospital. Today, you can purchase Close Encounters, an all-new expansion where extra-terrestrial species join Two Point County and suspicious events occur. Close Encounters is available now for £6.99 with an early adopter discount of 10% until September 5.

As an all-round medical supremo, you'll come across new unusual space illnesses, like Flat-Packed, Frogborne and Science Friction – don't be too hard on yourself if it turns out that curing all your patients is tough though. Close Encounters is the third expansion for Two Point Hospital and ever since the game launched 2.1 billion patients have been cured, with Pandemic being its most 'popular' cured illness. Over 9 million patients died after being diagnosed with Lightheadedness, and if you think that's a lot – 121 million patients died in Two Point Hospital so far.

If you are new to Two Point Hospital you can try the game out for free during the Two Point Hospital Steam Free Weekend that is going on now through September 2nd. During this period, you can also pick up Two Point Hospital and the 'Bigfoot' and 'Pebberley Island' DLCs, for 50% off. If decorating is more your jam, check out the 'Retro Items Pack' available now for £2.99, including 27 new retro-themed in-game items.

Check out the launch trailer for both Two Point Hospital and for the new Close Encounters DLC and then tell us what you think. Will you be playing this weekend?
