The verified update
Yes. The official feature list says players can jump, climb ladders, and scale vines to reach previously inaccessible areas.
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
- Vines are a named traversal surface
- movement combines with animal skills
- hidden resources and routes motivate vertical exploration.
Why it matters
Mark vine routes on maps only after confirming the exact climb point in the released game.
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
The control input, stamina cost, and restrictions are not published.
Any later change should be dated and linked to a new first-party notice rather than silently overwriting the historical source.
