Unexplored News

Dear players!
More than five years after the release of Unexplored, the sequel launched on Steam. Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy shares a lot of design goals with its predecessor, it has the same lead designer and same composer, but all in all, Unexplored 2 is a different beast.

• For starters, it's fully 3D.
  
• Characters have two eyes (which I jokingly say it's to be able to perceive the aforementioned third dimension).
  
• It's outside (mostly, but dungeons are still a big part of the game)
  
• Combat is way less important.
  
• RPG mechanics are more important.
  
• The amulet of Yendor now is the Staff of Yendor (which you carry with you all the time) (and which you have to destroy eventually)
  
• A new approach to perma-death...

We'd like to thank you all for playing Unexplored 1 and making this super ambitious sequel first a possibility and now a reality!

The sequel to rather good rogue-like Unexplored is exiting the development dungeon and heading out into the world of early access today. Action RPG Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer's Legacy continues with Unexplored's excellent generated worlds but with a new legacy system and a very, very pretty look. It's just launched in early access with plans for new quests and other content. I admit that small fellas holding up torches in front of giant doors is one of my favorite game genres so Unexplored 2 is really calling my number here.

We have a working build for Linux and Mac and are looking for a some time in our schedule for a proper Linux-release. For Mac: we need to investigate a little bit further since Unexplored uses a library that will stop functioning on MacOS in the not too distant future.



We're aware of a save-bug in Unexplored 1 that seems to hamper progression for a few players. So far, we have been unsuccessful in reproducing the bug, which makes it impossible to fix. If you've been hit by this particular bug, please let us know what you were doing before it occurred. That may help to solve it.

Dear Unexplored-players!

We are proud to announce we are hard at work on Unexplored 2: the Wayfarer’s Legacy! The game was just revealed during the E3 PC Gaming Show, and we’re so stoked to be able to share this with you.

We would like to thank everyone who bought and played Unexplored 1. There are more of you than we could have hoped for!

Having to turn our attention to Unexplored 2 means saying goodbye to its predecessor. We feel the current build of Unexplored is a solid one and provides hundreds of hours of gameplay. Yes, there is the occasional bug and a few players seem to be particular unlucky. For that we’re sorry, and we’re currently looking if it's feasible to create another update for Unexplored 1 on Steam.

Unexplored started it’s adventure, here, on Steam, back in 2016 when Steam Greenlight was still a thing. The game got green-lit in less than 11 days, which was exceptionally fast. We later launched Early Access, and that move paid off. Big time.

The amount and quality of feedback we received from early players proved to be invaluable. The game’s so, so much better off due to player feedback, that we never wanted to go without. That’s the main reason for going with FIG Open Access. Steam has become a bit crowded and FIG is offering a great opportunity that we wanted to seize upon.

We’re proud of the Game of the Year-mentions by PC Gamer, Rock Paper Shotgun and Vice.com. But most of all we’re proud we made a game that entertained tens of thousands of people, sometimes for hundreds or even thousands (!) of hours.

We hope to see you in Unexplored 2: The Wayfarer’s Legacy!
