Developer Wild Dog has announced a big 2.0 update for Keep Digging, their multiplayer game focused on digging, exploration, and treasure hunting.
The big 2.0 update for the game adds a new stage, hundreds of new items, new game systems, new costumes, and more. A release is set for this winter.
Keep Digging has been available for Windows PC (via Steam) in September 2025.
Here’s a rundown on the big new update, plus a trailer:
From a business perspective, Version 2.0 is an update that is completely unprofitable — it’s a money-loser on paper.
Even so, we decided to make it because we wanted to shape Keep Digging into something that would leave everyone who bought it feeling even more satisfied.
With Version 1.0, we were heavily constrained by budget and time, and there were parts where we felt, “We could have done more.”
Reflecting on that, we decided to create 2.0 as “the best Keep Digging Wild Dog can make right now.”
Originally, we considered releasing it as a paid DLC or even as a sequel. But this time, as an expression of our gratitude, we chose to release it as a free update.
In terms of content, we’re planning:
A completely new stage
Over 300 new items
New game systems such as tool crafting, smelting, and enchanting
New costumes
New trophies
