2021-03-30 – Oulu, Finland.
The Finland-based VR game publisher and game developer VRKiwi today announced that they have just released some new game details for their upcoming Western-themed VR game “Cave Digger 2: Dig Harder”.

Being the sequel to the 2018 game Cave Digger, which has since come to multiple VR and flat-screen platforms, Cave Digger 2 is confirmed to introduce a 4-player multiplayer co-op and combat mechanics to the game series.

Another major change is freeform mining with procedural mining run generator. Mining runs are made of select premade chambers. The Run Generator basically selects adjectives from a list and uses only the chambers matching those adjectives for a given run. So each mining run will be unique while based on a certain theme.

The game also comes with its own storyline in a region called New Frontier. As players seek Mother Earth’s riches, they come across mysteries. The biggest mystery will be linked to Clayton, an NPC who came to New Frontier long before the players themselves. Multiple endings will also be part of Cave Digger 2 similar to the first Cave Digger.

The publisher also announced that the Steam Early Access release is planned to be in the 3rd quarter of 2021 and the game’s Steam page is now online for wishlisting on https://store.steampowered.com/app/1523510/Cave_Digger_2_Dig_Harder/
