| Geega's Multiplayer Tournament: A Recap | 2026-04-28 | Hey Keepers! ICYMI, we just wanted to give a shoutout to the incredible GEEGA for hosting an official Dome Keeper multiplayer tournament over on Twitch to celebrate the multiplayer launch! During a fast paced 2v2 tournament, 8 teams of players went head to head over 3 rounds, with many having some super cool strategies already thought out to give them the edge. With all of the new Keepers and Gadgets at their disposal, there was an exciting mixture of plays but the main strategy we found popular was teams stealing each other's relics and the high mobility of the Infiltrator combined with the carrying capacity of the Assessor was a favourite c |
| The Lost Keepers Patch v5.0.2 | 2026-04-23 | Hey Keepers Thank you for the continued stream of feedback and bug reports! We are still working hard to fix and improve what we can, and will continue to do so. For this patch, apart from the bugfixes, we discovered that the game was overscaling difficulty quite a bit. That meant in some assignments the monsters were a bit crazy, and more importantly the rock hardness generally was too high in multiplayer. Together with the non-shared upgrades, this led to way slower gameplay than intended. This is much softer now and should feel like a way better progress, without the game outscaling your ability to dig. Also please note that we provide pat |
| The Lost Keepers Patch v5.0.1 | 2026-04-16 | Hey Keepers We've been genuinely blown away by the incredible response from the multiplayer & Lost Keepers DLC release at the start of the week! Thank you so incredibly much for all of your comments & feedback - they really do help us make things even better for you. We are closely reading all your feedback and reports. Saying that, here's a big juicy patch with some changes that should do just that. MULTIPLAYER After joining a multiplayer session, the correct loadout will be loaded when going back to singleplayer. Fixed that a temporary buff became permanent when rejoining a multiplayer session. Fixed players spawning in the wrong dome in Ve |

| Introducing: The Beastmaster | 2026-04-12 | Hey Keepers,I know a lot of you really love the droneyard. Who wouldn't, when it's all about getting help from cute little creatures? The Beastmaster pushes that to the limit, thanks to a small army of catgoblins they employ. Besides looking badass, the Beastmaster also plays quite uniquely. First of all let's dive into what the catgoblins do. Initially you call them by punching a hole into the back wall of the mine. Soon the catgoblins from your dome will emerge and pick up resources near that hole. This means the Beastmaster never has to track back to the dome to bring back these big bundles of resources. That is lucky too, as the Beastmast |
| Introducing: The Infiltrator | 2026-04-10 | Hey Keepers,did you ever think about how Dome Keeper would play if our keeper would not have a jetpack, but would run and jump around, bound only by gravity and your platforming skills? Wonder no more! It's a bit insane to add this to the game, but The Infiltrator does deliver on that. One key element of traversal besides the jump is the rope with which you can pull yourself in all directions at high speeds, making the movement of the Infiltrator truly unique. You'll think totally differently about the mine, as suddenly you find yourself building caves that support movement with jumps and the rope much better.This makes the Infiltrator not ea |
