Dr. Larson and his team at Impact Labs have been hard at work, and are ready to unleash their fearsome Goblin shark! Genetically modified to thrive in shallower waters and given greater strength, this Goblin poses a real threat and is sure to strike fear in the hearts of divers. Celebrations for the end of the Terror Nights are underway once again, so stay alert for when ghouls and goblins attack!


The Goblin is best known for its terrifying extendable jaw packed full of needle-like teeth, and its distinct surfboard shaped nose. Although sluggish in nature, the Goblin makes up for this in combat with its intimidating appearance known to incite panic in divers.

Ability: Terrify
Strikes fear in the divers, causing them to hallucinate another goblin shark.

The Ghouls & Goblins event is packed full of rewards to earn and things to do! Sink your teeth into a new event treasure unleashing 15 new skins into Depth! Earn event treasures as rewards by playing Depth, or purchase them from the Depth item store.
Ghouls & Goblins brings a new leveling commemorative coin, however this time with a twist! Select levels of Commemorative Coin will reward you with a gravestone which drops upon your death in-game. Gravestones will only be usable during the event.
This event will also feature a skin tournament, Tools vs Teeth! Featuring sharks and diver gear, earn points for your favorite in each match-up by playing games of Depth. The winner of the skin tournament will have a Hadal rarity skin created for it, and runner-up one of Abyssal rarity!

With this update we've focused on improving the new player experience in three key ways: improving matchmaking, introducing recommended builds, and reworking how players unlock gameplay content.

To address matchmaking for new players, we've made adjustments to improve the matching algorithm to reduce how often experienced and new players are matched with one another. Wait times may be slightly longer on average with this change, however we feel this better match quality will make Depth a more enjoyable experience for new and experienced players alike.

Recommended Builds are a new way for players to learn to play new species of sharks more effectively. All players will be able to switch to the full evolution view whenever they would like.

We believe that unlocks should be both rewarding and an enjoyable way to explore what Depth has to offer. With the new unlock system, players will complete small challenges to unlock Sharks and Diver Gear. Shark Evolutions and Weapon Upgrades are now all unlocked by default, and all veteran players will get to keep any content they had previously unlocked.

At the main menu, we've added a new area for displaying messages for improved communication about what is happening with Depth, such as update progress or server maintenance periods.

Parasitic aliens have arrived on a meteor which crashed into the ocean and are taking control of everything they can! Nicknamed the Void, this scourge earned their name for the bizarre and cosmic appearance their hosts take on after being infected. Sharks and divers alike should swim away as fast as they can should they run into any Void terrors!



Complete games of Depth during the Void event to earn Void treasures which unlock new cosmetic skins like the fearsome Void infected Thresher! The Void Treasure is also available for purchase on the Depth Item store for the duration of the event. Alongside the normal Void Treasure, you will also receive a Gold Void Treasure which only contains Bathyal or rarer items every 5 treasure rewards! And as always, earning score in matchmade games of Depth will level the upgradeable commemorative coin!

As well, over the Void Event, earn points for your favorite weapon in the Arms Race! Based on 1st and 2nd place, this single-elimination tournament will determine the next drop Hadal and Abyssal!


Quests for Depth have arrived and are making a splash! Receive a new quest everyday and complete them to be rewarded with Quest Treasures! Quest Treasures contain a random item found at the end of matches from Coral to Abyssal, or the exclusive Hadal, the RAM Hammerhead developed by Impact Labs! Featuring a variety of different goals for both sharks and divers you'll want to be sure to check it out!

Impact Labs is a group of rogue scientists led by former Aquatekk Industries researcher Dr. Larson. The lab is well known for taking on any project - given the right price. Recently they've picked up a contract of questionable ethics, that aims to identify a species of shark to transform into the ultimate man eater. Two sharks have been identified with the best potential for the project; the Goblin and Oceanic Whitetip. Sides have formed in the lab, and its up to you to help prove which species is the best! Will you fight on the side of the Goblin Shark, the living fossil with a menacing extendable jaw? Or will you fight on the side of the Oceanic Whitetip Shark, a shark known for its dangerous and aggressive behavior toward shipwrecked crews? Choose which side you fight for in the main menu and as you complete matchmade games of Depth your score will earn points for your selected side! The side with the most votes at the end of the event will be chosen as the next shark species added to Depth!




Depth's first event treasure has come ashore! Complete games of Depth during the Shark Fight event to earn Shark Fight Event Treasures! Featuring a variety of new designs for sharks and divers alike, you'll want to be sure to keep an eye out for creations from Impact Labs such as Stitches the Bull Shark, and their heavily modified Harpoon! The Shark Fight Event Treasure will also be available for purchase on the Depth Item Store for the duration of Shark Fight. Event treasures and items gained from Shark Fight will be tradeable and marketable at the conclusion of the event.




To commemorate Shark Fight we've released another leveling event commemorative coin! Similar to previous events you level your coin by earning score in completed matchmade games of Depth, but only before Shark Fight ends!




Impact Labs has setup an interesting way to recycle the old into the new! Their lab is available for use in crafting new items now in the Store's Crafting area in the main menu, and will even be sticking around after Shark Fight ends. So if at any time you find yourself with items that you don't need anymore, give crafting a whirl and who knows what will come out!




With Shark Fight we've change how lobbies and the friends panel are presented while still delivering the same functionality as before by condensing them into a new area called the Social Bar. This has opened valuable space along the right side of the main menu which we will continue to tweak in the future.

Changelog for patch available here.
