- Different Endings Update released! - 12 December 2024
The final two endings are uncovered in the latest update to Cave Digger 2: Dig Harder. One new ending finishes the story that the in-game comic started, how Clayton destroyed the civilization of the Elder Lizards and killed their King. Now comes accountability, and maybe even absolution. The other is a fun one about Chompys, the living chests who for inexplicable reasons have invaded the Cave Digger world. Some creatures are best kept on a tight leash, but now it is too late as you will see!

Hello Prospectors!⛏️ We're celebrating the 5th year anniversary of Cave Digger! 🎉 It's already been 5 years since the first Cave Digger launched on Steam and other platforms. Ever since the release, we added multiple endings to the games, updated the graphics, added more features, and expanded our game thanks to your support of the game.

To quote our art director AMP about pre-production in one of the dev blogs, "At the time, Cave Digger 2 was broadly drawn out to be more of the same, just bigger, better and harder. We had everything on the table: MMO, crafting, trading, weapons, story campaign and spaceships." - AMP And now, let's dig out some old albums ⛏️ and check out some concept art from CaveDigger and Cave Di…
