Awaken your senses in The Awakened Update! A brand new unlockable game mode, complete with new enemies, unlockable pets, and rules for those hungry for a fresh challenge. Full info below:



ːdeeperskullː New Game Mode: "Awakened Mode"

After discovering the bottom, seasoned adventurers will find a peculiar "Wake Lantern" appearing in their catalog. This is your ticket into a brand new hardcore game mode with its own set of quirks and rewards.



ːdeeperskullː Perma-Perma Death:

In Awakened Mode, you reveal the true nature of The Living Infinite through your wake lantern, but it comes at the cost of your mortal souls. Revival is no longer an option, once a crew member dies, they die for good. This also means players can't join an Awakened Mode game mid-way through, so make sure you have a full crew prepared before your voyage!



ːdeeperskullː New Foes:

The truth of the lantern reveals new dangerous entities in each biome, and attracts attention from a terrifying presence - The Shambler.



ːdeeperskullː The Shambler:

The Shambler will pursue your crew relentlessly throughout your journey. Though what it wants is uncertain, it certainly seems interested in taking your crew members to strange, alien dimensions, each with different properties. It can't be killed, so it's best to just stay out of its grasp.



ːdeeperskullː Pets:

The lantern reveals more than just new dangers however, it also seems to cause a strange collision of realities, resulting in the creation of a wide variety of friendly critters. Find these reality collisions and break them open to reveal new unlockable friends - just know some accidents of nature are cuter than others...



ːdeeperskullː New Rank - Acolyte:

Finally, for those who have dedicated themselves to the abyss long enough, a new rank awaits, along with two new horrifying rewards to honor their newfound dedication to the things that lie in the deep.

We Need To Go Deeper's first post-release content update is nearly ready, so now we turn to our community to help test the waters, so to speak. As these features are in beta, we warn that there may be new instabilities and issues in this branch, so only opt in if you want to help test the content.

If you'd like to participate in the beta, right click WNTGD in your Steam Library > Properties > Betas > Select beta branch.

What we have is essentially a brand new hardcore mode for those who seek new challenges after discovering the bottom, complete with new enemy types, rulesets, and rewards - all accessed through a mysterious lantern. Here's what you'll find inside the beta:

• New "Awakened" game mode accessed through "Wake Lanterns" that appear for purchase in the catalog once the bottom has been discovered. This mode features new enemies, permanent player deaths (no revives), and opportunities to unlock "pets".
  
• New "pet" option in customization, that allows players to bring earned "pets" with them on their adventures.
  
• New 13th "Acolyte" rank and two new cosmetics to go with it.
  

We look forward to your feedback!

Happy Diving,

- Nick
