Press release

Cave Digger 2: Dig Harder's first major post-launch content update The Return of the Chompys releases on Nov 24th on Steam, Meta, and PSVR

Cave Digger 2: Dig Harder - The Return of the Chompys
 
This major update will have many changes to the game that will affect the mining runs, along with more enemies, endings, and most of all, more Chompys! We have been posting sneak peeks all the time in our Discord, so if you want to see more, you can visit us at discord.gg/cavedigger where you can also greet the devs in the Saloon channel! 🍻
 
Chompys, Chompys, and More Chompys!
 
As the title suggests, we are adding more Chompys. Namely the Miner Chompy, Punk Chompy, and the Hellraiser Chompy. Not all of them will be friendly to the players so you better be fast!

 
Roll the Roulette Prospector!
With this new system brought to you by the Merchant Trading Company, you will be able to decide what kind of situation you will face before descending deep into the mines! Will you have more riches? Or will you have more peril and mayhem? The only way to know is to ROLL.
 
New Enemy
 
It's the Drone. It'll fly, it'll zap, and it'll shoot the adventurous miners that come into the Eerie Ruins area with weak and feeble minds!

 
New Costumes
 
These costumes below (and more) will be added to the game with this update. Find relics that correspond to the costumes and suit up to show your co-op partners what's the newest miner style!

 
Two New Hidden Game-ending Events
 
Like the other ending sequences, you'll find some form of a puzzle and/or hidden location where you can start a beautiful game-ending event that upon completion rewards the player with an achievement. The game progress is saved automatically so you can start the endings as many times as you'd like without penalty.

About Cave Digger 2: Dig Harder


 
Cave Digger 2 is an action-adventure game in wildland valleys where you explore old mines, nautical caves and ruins of ancient civilizations inspired by western, dieselpunk and Lovecraftian themes. The player is a prospector who begins their adventure in a seemingly abandoned camp with the goal to extract valuables from the caves, to trade them for new tools, upgrades, and locations in order to advance their frontier exploration. To unveil the secrets of the Valley, the player follows the breadcrumbs left by a previous explorer known only as Clayton. The game has multiple beautiful endings, each showing a different outcome. Supports crossplay co-op with up to four players and it's available on Steam, Meta App Lab, and PlayStation VR. Welcome to New Frontier.
