The Sugarplum Fairies are back to bring the spirit of the season to the good and naughty crew members of the sea. They'll enter your vessel and leave you wondrous gifts!

A new biome has arrived, and it's chaos incarnate.

• NEW Biome: The Micro Depths- A chaotic new 2nd layer biome filled with microscopic monstrosities that aren't so microscopic any more. Behemoth viruses, bacteria, and protozoa populate these hazy waters, alongside the remnants of an atom-age experiment gone wrong.
  
  
• NEW Enemies - The enlarged denizens of The Micro Depths are a uniquely erratic threat, with many able to replicate themselves, conglomerate together into self-healing configurations, or extend out sticky substances to drain anything that comes near.
  
  
• NEW Affliction - The waters here are capable of changing the atomic structure of any who are exposed to it for extended periods, introducing a new affliction known as Atomic Disorder. Should you contract it, Atomic Disorder will rearrange your atoms into smaller or larger configurations at random.
  
  
• NEW Boss - An enlarged protozoa known only as The Hydra guards the exit to these depths. If the wild flaying of its facial tendrils don't kill you first, one of its many budding offspring will.
  
  
• NEW Civilization - The Micronauts' research base is said to still remain in these waters, alongside much of their abandoned equipment.
  

• Two new achievements have been added - Herculean and Mi-nope-sis.
  
• Updated network tools - should result in possibly improved cross-platform support, as well as overall smoother experience connecting to lobbies.
  
• Awakened Mode fix - Players should no longer be able to join Awakened Mode games in progress once they've started.
  
• Fixed broken reference preventing the "not enough money" message from appearing in the catalog.
  
• Atomique colliders reduced to allow it to fit in tighter spaces.
  
• Backend for universal enemy spawning fixed, should result in more reliable event enemy spawn rates.
  

Those of you who own the Buried Treasure DLC have some new surprises in store! With the new biome comes two new music tracks that we've added to the soundtrack! In addition, we've also compiled together a Bonus Artbook PDF that showcases concept art and development history on We Need To Go Deeper's post-launch content! You get all this for FREE if you own the Buried Treasure DLC!

The Heads of the Horseman Fall Event is back! Fend off horrific produce, shambling corpses, legendary ghosts, and earn new special cosmetics for the month of October!

• Earn 13 Limited Time Cosmetics!
  
• Fend off horrific Pumpkin monstrosities!
  
• Encounter The Horseman himself!
  
• NEW Enemy Encounter - Infested Settlers!
  

This year, the shambling headless victims of The Horseman have joined the fray, along with their unique unlockable attire! These vine-infested Settlers from have now risen from their graves, and shamble about in dark spaces. Be careful when attacking, their flesh is known to have a mind on its own.





The Headless Horseman has returned to the Living Infinite, and with his vengeful galloping spirit so too returns the corrupted strain of man-eating pumpkin creatures! Their tentacles birthing smaller spawn inside your ship can be a trick or a treat though, as one of many of the limited time Heads and Slime Skins are known to drop from these creatures' pulp from time to time.



The Horseman will return to his grave on November 1st.
