Press release:
[United Kingdom] – July 8, 2026 – Gloom Box and indie.io today announced that Dwarf Delve will launch on Steam on July 27th 2026, bringing a high-stakes new spin to the rogue-lite and loot-extraction genres.

In Dwarf Delve, players descend into procedurally generated mines where every run is a race against time. The deeper you delve, the greater the rewards…but delve too greedily, and you risk losing everything…

Players step into the boots of a newly promoted Delveling, charged with recovering valuable ores and long-lost relics from ancient, unfathomable depths for the Coalition of Dwarves. It sounds simple enough—until tunnels begin to collapse, your time runs out, and the elevator to freedom leaves without you.

Every run is a self-contained challenge, blending sharp decision-making with constant tension. Do you smash one more vein of ore, crack open one last treasure chest, or abandon it all and make a break for the surface? That risk-versus-reward choice lies at the heart of Dwarf Delve.

To survive the depths, players wield a mighty Battlemallet alongside an expanding arsenal of tools, including flares, lanterns, and support beams. Used wisely, they can mean the difference between a legendary haul and being buried with your loot.

The riches you bring back don’t just pad your pockets. Between runs, stashed resources can be refined into permanent upgrades, new equipment, unlockable skills, and even lavish furnishings for your personal dwarven quarters!

With its blend of fast-paced extraction gameplay, endless procedural variety, and a rewarding progression loop, Dwarf Delve offers a fresh underground adventure—where fortune favours the bold, and the greedy are crushed!

Strap on your gloves, grab your Battlemallet, and prepare to delve. Dwarf Delve launches on Steam July 27th. Wishlist now, Delveling!
