The trailer also delved into how players will help the island’s host of characters. It involves performing tasks such as observing, hunting and capturing Bugsnax – living creatures that roam the island and are made of candy.

Numerous traps will be available to complete these objectives, with the trailer highlighting contraptions such as an umbrella, which can be deployed to lure the creatures in and contain them, or a catapult, which can fire ketchup to lure a burger-type Bugsnax into a pen.
