Summary

  • Dome Keeper releases its multiplayer update on April 13, available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, Xbox Play Anywhere, and Game Pass.
  • It’s a free update, available to anyone owning the base game, with both co-op and versus mode, and it can be played locally or online.
  • We are also releasing a new paid DLC on April 13, with two new keepers!

Last December was a huge milestone for Bippinbits and Raw Fury: After five years of being a PC-only game, we released Dome Keeper on Xbox Series X|S. Not only that, but we reached an even wider audience by being included on Game Pass. Since then, more than 200,000 players have joined our community and shared their love for the game on socials, through screenshots, clips, videos, and tips. We couldn’t be more grateful!

Now the time has come to expand the Dome Keeper universe beyond, with our most-demanded update by far. Multiplayer is coming on April 13 and will be free for anyone who owns the base game, providing veterans and newcomers alike with a brand-new way to experience the game.

Multiplayer… but how?

In a nutshell: Any way you want it! Multiplayer in Dome Keeper consists of cooperative and competitive play, local splitscreen (up to 4 players), and online multiplayer (up to 8 players). Of course, online is a must-have these days, but we’re also very fond of the idea of you joining with your pals in your house and playing together; also an obvious choice if you play on Xbox. The good news is that you can even combine that freely, like playing as two people on one machine in splitscreen with a third friend half a world away, as a 3-person team. Time to spread the word among your friends who may not know about Dome Keeper!

Co-op mode is open to up to eight players simultaneously. You and the other players will work together to dig, collect resources, expand your dome, and fight the relentless waves of monsters. The domes now have an additional weapon station, so up to two keepers can participate in combat. Will that make the fight easier? Well… we will see! Monsters won’t rest on their laurels, you know.

If you’re down for a good keeper competition, then the versus mode is for you. This is the true “break” from the regular Dome Keeper experience: Up to 8 players can join and compete in two teams, each one with its own dome. You can pick between two winning conditions at the beginning: “The last dome standing,” where your dome is the one that survives; or being the first dome to make a large resource delivery.

I know you’re probably asking yourself a key question… Can you sabotage the other team? Well, of course. We wouldn’t deny you that fun! There are different ways in which you can sabotage: stealing their resources while they are carrying them, buying new upgrades that will increase the strength of the waves the other team faces, or unearthing a corrupt relic that will buff the waves against your rivals.

In both game modes, you all share the same map, and you have a separate multiplayer leaderboard for you to rejoice and brag. And before you start a versus run, you can choose several modifiers to make your competition as easy or as challenging as you want.

The Lost Keepers are here!

We have another surprise for you: We’re releasing a new paid DLC, also available today! The Lost Keepers feature two new keepers with their own playstyles: The Infiltrator, a nimble keeper moving swiftly with a rope and skilled jumps; and The Beast Master, an arcane keeper traversing the mines with agile tentacles and their catgoblin minions.

This is just the beginning! We hope we will keep adding new fun stuff, improving what we have, and organizing multiplayer tournaments in our Discord server. So be prepared for much more to come, and get into honing your skills. Welcome to a new Dome Keeper era!
