Its finally time for us to announce the date for our 1.0 update and console launch. Early Access has been a fantastic experience so far for us as developers. Weve worked hard to listen to your incredible feedback and develop the kind of game you want to play, and its hard to believe were approaching the end of this period and moving into 1.0. We wont keep you in suspense. Here it is, Explorers, we hope youre as excited as we are [previewyoutube=ga6q6vUluzE;full][/previewyoutube]

We dont know about you, but everything suddenly feels very real right now! Whether youre just starting on your underground adventure or youve been with us since day one, we cant thank you enough for joining us on this amazing journey. Were thrilled to be bringing you the full Core Keeper experience soon, and we cant wait for you to find out all the little details weve been saving for 1.0 - Sven Thole, Pugstorm COO.

Tell Us More About Whats Coming in 1.0!

Youve probably noticed that weve been a little secretive when it comes to revealing 1.0 content, and thats because weve got something cool coming up. In true teaser fashion, we cant reveal what this is yet, but we can let you know that well be bringing you a much closer look at whats coming in 1.0 soon. Youll have to hang on until then, Explorers, but we promise itll be worth the wait.

Summer Update Details

Those of you following our roadmap will recall that weve got one last update coming before we launch in 1.0. Our Summer Update was originally positioned as a minor update, which usually means a little bit of new content to play with. After a lot of careful consideration and, of course, taking a good long look at community feedback we wanted to work on what matters to you, so weve decided to reformat this update slightly. Well still be releasing our Summer update, but this will now focus on performance and bug fixes to ensure the game is in as enjoyable a state as possible ahead of its full launch. That isnt to say that we wont continue to work on optimisations between the Summer Update and 1.0, just that we have heard your comments and feedback across all of our channels and we agree that we should be making playability a priority right now. Oh, and dont worry, the new playable content that we had planned for the Summer update hasnt been scrapped; this is now coming with our 1.0 launch so you can experience it at its best. Thats everything from us for now, Explorers! Were beyond excited to finally be able to begin our 1.0 countdown. Keep an eye out for more news, information, and announcements from us here on Steam, over in the official Core Keeper community Discord, and on X! P.S.
