Antediluvian Interactive has released a playable Demo for the co-op dungeon crawler The Expedition: Into Darkness. The announcement came along with the brand-new trailer, featuring gameplay elements and demonstrating the dark fantasy world. The game blends together the tension of extraction looting with RPG elements. Meanwhile, the game remains in active development with planned release date set on Q4 2026.
Demo Overview
- Two large maps: Playable solo or with up to three other players.
- Full crafting and customization: Different gear and weapons sets to suit individual play styles.
- Camp progression: Structures provide useful character perks.
