In Core Keeper, a mining sandbox adventure, players are drawn toward a mysterious relic.

You are an explorer who awakens in an ancient cavern of creatures, resources and trinkets. Mine relics and resources to build your base, craft new equipment, survive, and power up the Core.

Defeat giant monsters, discover hidden secrets, farm crops, cook new recipes and explore a procedurally generated underground world in a mining sandbox adventure for 1-8 players.

Developer Pugstorm and publisher Fireshine Games (formerly Sold Out Games) announced that Core Keeper is now available to download on Steam Early Access and introduces major new features, including fishing, railroads, automation, electricity, new enemies, items, weapons, a new nature biome, three new bosses and more.

Core Keeper has sold an incredible 100,000+ copies within the first two days of launching on Steam Early Access, making it publisher Fireshine Games’ fastest-selling digital title of all time.

“We have been truly awestruck by the reaction to Core Keeper and are so thankful to all of the players who have joined us on our adventure so far,” added Sven Thole, CEO & Animator at Pugstorm. “The launch success has cemented our future plans for the game, and we are very excited to listen to fan feedback and continue growing the game in the months ahead. This is just the start of Core Keeper’s journey.”

Players who downloaded and played the Steam Next Fest demo can also continue their adventure seamlessly when they purchase the Early Access version, carrying over their world, character, items and progress directly into today’s release, while new players can experience it all for the very first time.

An additional 10% discount will also be available to players who pick up the Early Access release during the first week of launch.

Additional updates introducing major new features, content and quality of life improvements are planned to be added throughout the Early Access period.
