Co-op dungeon crawler with extraction mechanics and permadeath in a medieval dark fantasy setting

About the game

Expedition: Into Darkness is a dungeon crawler from small studio Antediluvian Interactive, combining extraction mechanics with classic loot-and-combat gameplay in a medieval dark fantasy setting. Solo or with up to four other players, you explore forbidden ruins, fight creatures and traps, and gather loot that only stays yours if you make it back to base alive. The weapon system is built around modular assembly: swords, axes, maces, polearms, bows, and crossbows can all be built from individual parts and customized with materials, tints, and liveries. Die in a run and your character is gone for good, along with everything they carried. Only gear already stored at base camp stays safe. Between runs, you upgrade your base with resources brought back from the depths, framed by a dark fantasy backdrop of forbidden pacts with dark gods. The game has not been released yet. A Steam playtest signup is currently open, with a release targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026. Pricing and final platforms have not been confirmed.
