Greetings, Miners!
You’ve all been twiddling your beards in anticipation of this, so here it is. Update 33 will release onto Steam on February 4th. Titled NEW FRONTIERS, Update 33 will grant access to two brand new biomes - the mysterious wonders of the AZURE WEALD, and the thorn-infested hell of HOLLOW BOUGH. Update 33 also includes all-new Mactera variations and several new strains of horrible Glyphid Dreadnought mutations.
Should the new biomes, the Dreadnought Hiveguard, and the monster twins: Dreadnought Arbalest and Lacerator, not satisfy your thirst, we also have the Mactera Trijaw and the Mactera Brundle standing by to harass your endeavors, together with tweaks and changes to current mission types, such as being able to retrieve Doretta's control unit in Escort missions plus downloading the location M.U.L.E legs, and building fuel lines in Salvage missions.
We will also be adding the horned helmet we promised during the Steam Award nominations, and rumor has it that a new paid cosmetic DLC will allow you to dress your dwarf in an exotic dreadnought carapace.
The Xbox/Win10 version of Update 33 will release a week later on February 11th.
Experimental Branch and Dev-streams
If you absolutely can’t wait to get your pickaxe dirty, we will release Update 33 onto the Experimental branch on Steam on January 25th, and if you’d like to put your boots up and ingest a glyphid slammer with some good, solid dwarven entertainment, we will be live-streaming the two new biomes on our Twitch channel on January 21st and 22nd (1 PM UTC+1 both days). Update: The stream for Thursday will take place at 8 PM UTC+1.
Finally, we'll leave you with a handful of fresh screenshots and images from the upcoming update:
with love
