Fireshine Games and Pugstorm have announced that their mining sandbox adventure Core Keeper is coming to Nintendo Switch next year.
As an explorer who has been drawn to a mysterious relic, you awaken in an ancient, endless cavern of creatures, resources and trinkets. Alongside up to eight players, you will have the chance to explore this endless location to unravel the mystery behind the ancient Core.
That will challenge you to mine relics and resources to build your base, craft new equipment, survive and power up the Core. To do so, within its procedurally generated underground world, you will need to defeat giant monsters, discover hidden secrets, farm crops and cook new recipes.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Mine Resources: Explore a vast underground cave of endless resources. Mine ores, discover hidden crystals, fossils & trinkets and survive a procedurally generated underground world.
- Discover An Ancient World: Delve into living biomes and fight cavernous creatures in a vast subterranean system. Scour the dark world around you and encounter the behemoths of the underground. Defeat them and take the spoils of victory to help uncover the mystery of the Core.
- Craft Items and Equipment: Customise your character and craft new items, armour and equipment to venture further into the caves. Craft a pickaxe to mine walls and resources, build bridges to cross underground lakes, and place torches to light up the profound ever-present darkness.
- Grow and Farm Crops: Tend your crops to grow a variety of plants by planting seeds found during your adventures. Find the perfect fishing spot and catch a plethora of unique fish. Combine the yield of your hard work farming and fishing in the cooking pot to discover delicious recipes with unexpected effects.
- 1-8 Player Sandbox: Survive alone or play online with up to 7 other players. Work together to mine resources, fight, farm, craft and survive. Specialise in your role to help your fellow explorers tame the unruly landscape you find yourselves in.
Core Keeper will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide in Summer 2024.
