Introducing the Core Keeper and Abiotic Factor crossover – a minor content update fuelled by the power of SCIENCE!

Abiotic Factor fans will have noticed the addition of a whole host of Core Keeper content in the Abiotic Factor Dark Energy update, and it looks like the containment breach has finally reached the underground. Head towards the Forgotten Ruins and you might just find a brand-new custom scene filled to the brim with GATE branded items, equipment, and consumables.

Inanimate objects aren’t the only thing that seem to have slipped through the cracks between dimensions. If you’re not careful, you might find yourselves face-to-face with the cybernetically augmented Electro-Pest!

These new enemies might look cute and loaf-shaped, but they’ve got a nasty bite, and their electrical quills are powerful enough to send a shiver down any Explorer’s spine. There might just be a way to use the Electro-Pest’s energy to your advantage...although, you’d probably need to get your hands on one of their eggs if you wanted to turn these pesky pests into beloved pets.

It’s been amazing to collaborate with the folks over at Deep Field Games, and we hope you enjoy the new content in both Core Keeper and Abiotic Factor. We’re off to try and seal this containment breach now! Don’t forget to follow us on X, Bluesky, and Discord for more Core Keeper news, information, and updates in the future.
