Core Keeper News

Howdy there, Explorers! How are you all finding 1.0? We've loved hearing your feedback across X and Discord and you might have noticed a couple of patches from us recently to address some pesky bugs. Remember, you can always submit any game issues you're having to us here and we'll look into addressing them ASAP. Now, let's see what our community has been up to this week.

[h2]Core Keeper: Volume 2 Out Now on Spotify![/h2]
Volume 2 of our awesome soundtrack, composed by the talented Jonathan Geer, is available to listen to on Spotify here! We're so happy to have our music featured on this platform and, if you haven't listened to volume 1 yet, you can check it out here.

[h2]Not the Boreworms![/h2]
Can you tell that our community manager has been spending too much time on TikTok?



[h2]Dirt Biome Fact File[/h2]
We shared a fact file on the Dirt Biome for all you new Explorers just starting your adventures in the underground! It's the first biome you'll encounter and, arguably, the safest. You can read the full fact file on X here.



[h2]Fishing Fans, We Hear You![/h2]
We know fans of the old fishing minigame were a little let down to see this removed at 1.0. We've listened to your feedback and we're pleased to announce that we'll be adding this back in as an optional feature in a future patch as an interim solution while we look into ways to improve upon fishing for everyone!

[h2]Hartcore[/h2]
Did you know that 'Hartcore' was one of the names we considered for Core Keeper? Here's a piece of concept art that our lead artist, Julian, created with this name in mind!

[h2]Be Still Our Hearts![/h2]
Our hearts nearly skipped a beat when we saw this awesome in-game artwork, created by 에카들!



[h2]Marzipan's Favourite Outfit[/h2]

Hey there, Explorers, and welcome to our first-ever post-launch community wrap-up! It's hard to believe that Core Keeper released in 1.0 just three days ago, and we're feeling overjoyed with all the amazing love and support we've gotten from our fantastic community. This is a very special community-wrap up post for several reasons, including...

[h2]We Broke Our All-Time Concurrent Player Record![/h2]
Two years ago, during the first few days of our Early Access launch, Core Keeper hit its highest-ever player count and we've been itching to break that record ever since. Well, we're thrilled to announce that we absolutely smashed that record yesterday with a whopping 35,234 concurrent players in the game on Steam! We're so happy to see so many people playing Core Keeper at the same time, and we wonder if we'll see it grow any higher over the weekend?

[h2]The Reviews Are In[/h2]
Things are off to a fantastic start for 1.0 with review scores like these! We want to say a big thank you to all the outlets that took the time to play and review Core Keeper and a huge thank you to our community. Core Keeper wouldn't be what it is today without your feedback, bug reports, and insights!



[h2]Party at Fireshine[/h2]
The fine folks over at Fireshine Games (our publisher) celebrated the Core Keeper launch the right way...with plenty of cake! We have to admit, watching them cut into the Ghorm cake is a bit like watching someone decapitate your son, but we think it's awesome all the same. Here's to the future of Core Keeper!



[h2]Lotta PC and Xbox Players at Launch![/h2]
We asked you what platform you were playing Core Keeper on at launch. 77.4% of the people who responded on X were playing on PC, with 10% on Xbox, 5.5% on PlayStation 5, and 7% waiting for Core Keeper to launch on their platform. This feels like a good time to remind everybody that Core Keeper is coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in September!

[h2]Owlunae's Discord Emojis![/h2]
Our amazing community member, Owlunae, created over 50 emojis for us to use on Discord! They hosted a daily emote countdown to 1.0, giving the community the opportunity to vote on their favourites, but you loved all of them so much that we ended up uploading every single one! Here's two of our favourites, but you'll have to join our Discord to see the full set.

[h2]Delirya's Base[/h2]
X user, Delirya, was kind enough to share this awesome base they created with us! It's hard to pick a favourite feature, but we know they really liked the little steam room they created in the top right!
