The verified update
Yes. Natsume says animal companions can reach hidden areas, destroy rocks and fallen trees, and uncover secrets across Teradea.
The evidence was checked against Natsume preorder announcement and is current to 2026-07-31. The date attached to the underlying source is 2026-05-12.
What the source establishes
- Their abilities go beyond companionship
- obstacle removal is explicit
- the system is described as essential for exploration and adventure.
Why it matters
Future guides should record the exact animal, obstacle, route, and reward after reproducible testing.
That distinction helps players make a release, platform, route, story, or purchase decision using the narrow fact actually supported by the source.
The remaining boundary
No complete companion ability list or route matrix has been published.
Any later change should be dated and linked to a new first-party notice rather than silently overwriting the historical source.
