Good news, Explorers! We’ve just updated our roadmap for the rest of 2023 and beyond. From new language support all the way to info on the Crystal Update, find out what you’ve got to look forward to below and view the full image version of the roadmap at the bottom of this post.
Spanish Language Update - August
We’re pleased to announce that Core Keeper will be getting a Spanish language update in August. There have been a lot of requests for a Spanish localisation of the game from the community, and we’re hard at work getting that ready for you now. We know there are a couple of different variations of Spanish and we have elected to localise Core Keeper in European Spanish. We hope you’re looking forward to this localisation of the game and that you’ll join us in welcoming new Spanish-speaking explorers to the community.
Modding SDK 0.1 - September
We’ve got an amazing modding community for Core Keeper, and it’s been incredible to see all the creative ideas they’ve come up with. Providing support for this community has been something we’ve been working on for quite some time now, and we’re very happy to be implementing a Software Development Kit (SDK) in Core Keeper for the very first time in September.
The modding SDK will help modders create and distribute mods for Core Keeper, and it will offer players a standardised way to add and install mods to the game. The official solutions we are pushing might be a bit limited at the start, but we still want to give creators all the tools they need to implement their own solutions while making mod support as stable as possible. We hope this will open up the world of Core Keeper mods to even more Explorers.
Crystal Update - Autumn
This major content update is scheduled for Autumn 2023 and will include a brand-new biome with new enemies, materials, crafting options, and more! It won’t be long before you’re exploring a crystalline cave system and uncovering the exciting new resources on offer.
We know you’ve been looking forward to this one for quite some time, Explorers, so we thought we’d give you some insights as to what we’re thinking about for the Crystal biome. You might have noticed that we’ve been asking a couple of questions about Cattle over on Twitter, and that’s because we’re currently thinking about what more we can add to the Cattle system with this update, along with brand new game mechanics, lots of new equipment and more!!
Year-End Update - Winter
Independent from our Christmas Seasonal Event (which will reoccur each year and can also be toggled at any time from the Gameplay Settings menu), we’ll be releasing an additional Year-End Update this winter. This will come in the form of a minor update – unrelated to our Seasonal Events – and, while we can’t tell you what’s to come just yet, we’re working hard to make sure we’ve got something fun to tide you over through the new year! Oh, and speaking of the new year…
Additional Language Support - 2024!
We’re committed to bringing Core Keeper to even more Explorers before we hit 1.0, and we plan on adding more language support to Core Keeper in 2024. We’re still finalising the details here, but with this update coming next year, we hope you’ll take this opportunity to make lots of noise and let us know which languages you want to see represented!
Here’s to the Future of Core Keeper!
We can’t believe we’re nearly halfway through 2023 – it really does feel like yesterday since we released our last roadmap. We hope you’re as excited about all the upcoming content as we are, and we’d love to hear your thoughts over in the Steam Discussions, on Twitter, or in the official Core Keeper Discord server.
