Press release:
Oulu, Finland — June 18, 2019 — Cave Digger’s alternative western world adventures will expand as Finnish indie studio Mekiwi announced they are working on a major update for PSVR and PC VR.

A teaser released with the announcement shows that the devs are aiming for a large game world expansion, removing the original game boundaries like the in-lift restricted game area and timed levels.

The update’s exact release dates for different platforms aren’t confirmed yet but the studio aims it to be ready towards the end of Q3 this year.

The update gives the player the freedom to explore an abandoned mining town and its new mines, with a much larger set of mystery events and paths, which lead to different endings.

Of the decision to continue expanding Cave Digger’s mystery-filled game world, Mekiwi VR Producer Jani Kaipainen said, “We felt the game was not finished yet.

We had many ideas in our mind and many also came from the community. As we got good feedback for the Elevator part we decided to move on and develop a massive update with many many new treasures and mechanics.

Nevertheless, we want to show to those who have been supporting us and future players alike that we care about our community’s voice.

Many YouTubers and other influencers have also been very helpful, which we are also really grateful. Also, the Discord channel is active and you are welcome to join”

Originally Cave Digger released exactly a year ago as a free version on Steam, followed by a DLC named “Riches” a few months later while the free version plus Riches released as a unified title on Oculus and Viveport stores. Cave Digger was also released on PlayStation VR last March.

The expansion is set to come on Steam, Oculus Store, Viveport and PSVR platforms with no extra charge to all current PlayStation Store, Oculus Store or Viveport game owners or Riches DLC owners on Steam.

– Travel and explore deep underground tunnels
– Upgrade the town with collected riches
