After a period of radio silence we are happy to broadcast once more and what better way to return to the airwaves than with a banger! We are very happy to announce that the second DLC for Dysmantle called “Doomsday” is nearing completion and will be released into the wild in the near future, which is most likely during April. We don’t want to give out a specific date at this point as it is more of a “when it is done” type of deal and we wan’t to make sure the product is up to snuff.
Like with the first DLC Underworld, Doomsday will contain a brand new open world map filled with multiple new quests and challenges to overcome. You will slay and be slain by new types of enemies while scouring the map in search for exotic materials. There are a host of new tasty food recipes and ingenious inventions to craft, some of which are very tantalizing. We think it is a pretty dense package with a lot of content to chew through. So prepare yourself for a venture into the Hidden Archipelago which houses “Three Sisters”, a shadowy and somewhat conspicuous research center dabbling in mechanical marvels, biological horrors and amoral scientific practices. Inside you might find some answers to long time questions and hidden mysteries, but more importantly a new source of things to whack, slash and dysmantle.
As with the last DLC, the release of Doomsday will be coupled with a patch: 1.2.0 Update #26 to be exact. You can expect to find fixes to bugs, technical optimisations and free content in the form of new inventions, one of which should make searching for those pesky monsters a bit easier when preparing for ascensions. I don’t want to spoil too much so you’ll just have to have a look yourself when the time comes.
Here is a nifty link to the Steam store page of Doomsday, which might give you some valuable insights on what to expect. Of course a good way to be informed on when the DLC is available is to wishlist it, but that is your prerogative!
So what is next for Dysmantle? We know that there are some plot threads dangling in the base game in the form of a certain red phone and an aggravatingly hard to procure key. These will be resolved in a future patch. What happens after that is up in the air and the two options at play here are to either develop a third DLC or start the process of transitioning to maintenance mode and ceasing regular updates and development on the project. We haven’t arrived at a decision yet, but thought it proper to give an advance warning. Once we reach a decision, we’ll communicate it.
ps. Doomsday will be released on all the same platforms as the base game and the Underworld DLC, but these will be ported after the initial release and will take some time.
