On March 10th, Fireshine Games and Pugstorm plan to introduce the “Bags & Blasts” expansion for the relaxing mining adventure game, Core Keeper.

Get the details below.

About

The “Bags & Blasts” update for both console and PC players of Core Keeper offers a fresh area to discover, an exhilarating new skill tree to master, significant enhancements to gameplay quality, and one of the largest boss fights in Core Keeper yet: Nimruza, Queen of the Burrowed Sands.

Explore the newly added sunlit dunes of The Oasis, nestled within The Desert of Origin. This area is inhabited by the charming Drohmble, a creature resembling a camel, which roams these fertile plains. Don’t forget to raise these endearing animals as they hold a valuable (although somewhat smelly) resource essential for crafting mid-to-late game weapons.

Get ready for an epic battle against Queen Nimruza of the Burrowed Sands, a massive super cicada that presents quite the royal test in one of the largest boss fights in Core Keeper. Unveil the latest Explosives skill tree, featuring 8 fresh skills, along with the introduction of new bomb types such as the potent Void Bomb, which generates a vacuum, and the Blunder Bomb, capable of multiple blasts. Moreover, prepare for the arrival of an entirely new grenades weapon type.

Based on the feedback from the Core Keeper community, Pouches – a newly added feature – offer an efficient method for organizing items without consuming precious inventory space for explorers. These useful additions let players store resources like ore, seeds, fish, and valuable items in individual, designated compartments. This makes it simpler to manage inventories during extended trips away from the base.

Key Features

  • Oasis Sub-Biome – Discover the scorching sands of the Oasis, a brand-new sub-biome located within the Desert of Beginnings, complete with new resources, vegetation and the camel-like Drohmble.
  • Explosives Skill Tree and Grenade Weapon Type – With eight new skills to master, the new Explosives skill tree provides a brand-new way to play Core Keeper via the new grenades weapon type.
  • New Bomb Types – Blast through cavern walls or defeat Core Keeper‘s toughest enemies with brand-new bomb types to discover, including the powerful vacuum-creating Void Bomb and the multi-blast Blunder Bomb.
  • Inventory Overhaul – With the introduction of pouches, these handy new accessories provide efficient new ways to manage your inventory, with separate dedicated places to store resources and free up valuable inventory space. The new hotbar swapping feature also allows players to choose which inventory row appears in their hotbar, allowing quicker access to essential equipment, while quick stacking lets players easily sort items into nearby chests.
  • Supersized Boss Fight – Take on Nimruza, Queen of the Burrowed Sands, in this colossal fight against a supersized insect. Tackle Nimruza alone or buddy up with friends online in one of Core Keeper‘s biggest boss fights yet.

You can grab the game Core Keeper right now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, or your personal computer through Steam!
