Discover what lies forgotten at the bottom of the ocean. Play as Cerys, a deep sea investigator for an elite British Naval group and use her state-of-the-art, government-funded equipment to submerge as far as we can go. But seven miles under the surface is dangerous territory for humans, especially when only 5 per cent of Earth’s oceans have been explored so far.

Cerys’s missions will lead the player to uncover mysteries of the deep and survive its harsh and perilous environment. Come face to face with creatures that have never seen the light and day, question what is science or myth, and solve the unanswered questions of Cerys’s past.

After first dipping their toes into the murky horrors of the abyss back in October, the driving force behind Iron Fish - creator Dean Edwards and game director Shaun Leach - have assembled a new VR-focused development team to bring the next wave of terror to the deep.

The New Dawn patch corrects many of the game’s niggling bugs and in turn delivers huge improvements when it comes to playability and system optimization. The update, which is available now, brings new navigation controls well as making numerous bug fixes and general enchantments.

The New Dawn patch is a result of direct feedback from the gaming community, and promises to make the game more playable - and terrifying - than ever.

Features of the patch include:

• Story mode difficulty reduced to allow players to more easily progress through game.
• Added mouse functionality.
• Improved UI and UX.
• Revamped input for mouse and keyboard.
• More mission hints and tutorials.
• Fixed various bugs that prevented players from progressing through game.
• Fixed mission hints which pointed you in the wrong direction.
• Visual improvements of pick-up items.
• Improved overall performance of the game. 

The New Dawn patch is the first in a series of updates that the new development team will be releasing. Along with the new patches, the much anticipated VR update is planned for release Q2 2017.
