A little over a year has passed since we launched Dustwind: Resistance in June 2025, opening a whole new chapter for our Dustwind game series. As early as November 2025, we provided players with additional content through the first DLC, Canyon Cross.
Today, we’re taking the next step for Dustwind: Resistance and releasing the campaign DLC Tunnels of Death on Steam (PC), PlayStation 5, and Xbox X|S. Tunnels of Death is set 20 years before the events of the main campaign and puts you in the role of Jake’s father, Harlan, alongside Bob McCoy, Sgt. Perkins and Governor Rodriguez in their prime.
Your squad is trapped in a gang-ridden neighbourhood, and the only escape route leads through the abandoned underground tunnels. But something far worse lurks in their suffocating darkness. Distorted by time and decay, death has taken on new, horrific forms and hunts you through every passageway. Will you find your way out, or will this sadistic labyrinth grind you to dust?
The Tunnel of Death DLC offers an average playtime of four hours, introduces new gameplay mechanics, new mutants and delivers four new missions, as well as a new weapon. Players explore the map whilst fleeing from the threat of death.
Along with the new DLC, an update is being released that includes many new features, adjustments, and improvements for Dustwind: Resistance.
