We're happy to announce that we're on the final development stretch of a shiny new DYSMANTLE DLC called Underworld! We were hoping to get this out before the summer vacations, but unfortunately things simply aren't yet ready for release. The current estimated Steam release date is some time at the end of August, so we're close!
The DLC will feature a new open world map called the Underworld. Note that this is not an Undercrown related thing, this will go way deeper -- and beyond. The story will shed some more light onto the mysterious event happening on the island, and almost all the existing game features are expanded in some way: there will be new quests, recipes, skills, monsters, weapons, outfit, headgear, fish, plant to farm, buildables, and so on. For those who survive the Underworld main quest, there will be a sweet and useful reward: among other earthly rewards, you will be able to fast travel between Campfires.
All this will arrive with the upcoming 1.1.0 update #24 which will also contain some free playable content. The focus will be on giving you more tools to build stuff like platforms, walls, furniture, etc. We're expanding the main island a bit to give you some more room for your building activities and to add some Quests related to it. But more on that later!
You can find out more about the Underworld (and perhaps wishlist it?) at it's Steam page here:

The next step for the team is to once more recharge our batteries with the traditional Finnish 4-5 week summer vacation. This long break makes it up a bit for having to live in a cold and dark country like Finland. This might not be the best time to make that statement though as it's midsummer (Juhannus), which means that the sun basically doesn't go down AT ALL. It's surreally bright during the night time. Also it's almost 32° Celcius (~90°F) outside right now, so... not exactly cold. But it can get -32° during winter!
Anyway, have a great summer everyone! (Missing the office AC already.)
