Hold on to your pickaxes, Explorers, because weve got some exciting announcements. First up, the one youve all been waiting for

Core Keeper will be coming to Steam Early Access on the 8th of March 2022!

Were thrilled to announce that the Early Access version of Core Keeper will be available to play on Steam in less than four weeks from now. Its been an amazing journey for us as a development team, and getting to know you all on Twitter, TikTok, and the official Core Keeper Discord has been an absolute delight. Your feedback has been instrumental, and we cant wait for you to see the culmination of what weve been working on. [previewyoutube=-bsTaudFzNc;full][/previewyoutube] Weve added a whole host of new features since you last saw the game in Open Alpha, so theres plenty to explore and uncover. Weve also implemented bug fixes and quality of life improvements thatll ensure a much smoother gameplay experience. Bringing a game to Early Access is a wonderful opportunity for both the players and the developers while youre enjoying unlimited access to Core Keeper, your feedback and bug reports are going to help us do some serious fine tuning ahead of the full launch. While you dont have very long to wait for Early Access, we understand that even the shortest amount of time can feel like an eternity when youre looking forward to somethingwhich is why we think youll like our second announcement!

Cant wait? Play Our Steam Demo!

We cant thank our awesome community enough for all their support, and we wanted to give you one final Core Keeper preview ahead of the Early Access launch. Thats why, from today and included as part of Steam Next Fest later this month players can experience the world of Core Keeper and start their adventure for free in a new Core Keeper Steam demo thats available to play right now! Simply head on over to the Core Keeper store page and download it for a chance to explore the underground once more. The Core Keeper Steam Demo will be available until the 28th of February making it playable until roughly a week before the Early Access launch date. While the demo wont have anywhere near as many features as the Early Access version of the game, you will spot lots of things you didnt get to experience in the Open Alpha. Oh, and did we mention that any progress made within the demo can also be carried over to the Early Access release on March 8th, allowing you to continue your adventure directly from where you left off? We cant wait to hear your thoughts on the demo and the Early Access launch date, and our community managers will be on hand in the Discord to answer your questions. This is just the start of Core Keeper's journey, and your enthusiasm and feedback has already given us plenty of ideas for how we would like to expand the game throughout the Early Access period. Until then, please show us your support by wishlisting the game on Steam!
