This week we're bringing you old guards two new hat drops, The Sun God's Acolyte Mask and Sun God's Assassin Headdress, for the ongoing Wrath of the Sun God Summer Event! We actually meant to get these out earlier but time got the best of us, so we're using a content drop to drop em on ya! Both of these new hats will only be dropped during the Summer Event, so get tomb raiding!

The Wrath of the Sun God Summer Event is back! Slay mummies and earn special cosmetics for the next two weeks, with a 35% discount on We Need To Go Deeper to go with it!

• 4 Special Cosmetics!
  
• God-fearing Mummy foes!

Legends say every Summer Solstice, the mighty Sun God awakens, and with Him the many Caskets of his followers rise from the darkest parts of the Earth! These Caskets are filled with many riches, and some will contain one of 4 pieces of beautiful and rare headwear, given to the Sun God as tribute. But beware, for there's a price to pay for waking the dead.. and they don't easily part with their riches.

The Sun God will resume his slumber July 6th.

This week you better cover your face, because the ever-hopping and face-hugging Starfish have joined the legions of foes you'll face in The Living Infinite!



These sticky fellas can be found in The Atlantic, Frozen, Dark, and Prehistoric biomes, free-floating throughout the ocean waiting for their true love to come find them. Once latched, they won't let go without some assistance, so be sure to let your crew know when you get face-grabbed!

This week's content drop we're bringing you two new Recruitable NPCs for the Frozen and Volcanic biomes respectively: The Yeti Crab and The Tiki Golem! These stocky fellas will replace the regular ol' bots you could find on sale previously in these biomes, so now all biomes should be fitted with proper recruits!



In other news, this drop is also coming with a few small tweaks and fixes based on the responses we've gotten on the new update. Here are those changes:

- All Sub Upgrades' effects have been DOUBLED now that they are more difficult to aquire. Upgrades are now more valuable and useful all around!

- Fixed Elixirs' effect text not displaying correctly.

- Acid Mod for Ammo now has new visuals and has a wider radius of effect and lasts longer before dissapating.

- Upgrades should be showing in front of players' as to not get accidentally hidden behind scenery.

- Increased base health of Recruits from 10 to 15 for better survivability.

EDIT: I've also uploaded the new Recruit assets to the Wiki Materials Folder for you Wiki Editors (aka mostly ADcrafter), just FYI!

Things are getting heavy with June's official content update! This update we're overhauling expedition zones with revamped drop rates, a new boss encounter, an all new expedition type, and more! Read on to find out what we have in store!




New Expedition Type: Lairs! - These mysterious new expedition types have begun to appear in the trench; abandoned undersea workshops filled with abandoned tech, including a precious Upgrade Crate! But be warned, for these valuable Upgrades are guarded by....



New Boss: Lair Guardians! - These hulking masses of abandoned copper and iron are set to crush any and all intruders who dare try and take their precious cargo. But don't be fooled by their size, Lair Guardians also come equipped with all kinds of dangerous gadgetry to put a stop to your crew.





Branching Paths! - Take careful notice of your Radar, because on your travels you may notice that occasionally you'll come across branching paths that will determine what kind of Expedition you come across. Will you explore a Cave for resources and treasure? Or will you enter a Lair and fight for a new Upgrade? Choose wisely, for once you pick a path, quick-moving water currents will ensure you won't be able to return.



Ruby Chests! - With Lairs holding the key to ship Upgrades, Caves just got a lot more wealthy! These huge golden treasure troves are stashed away at the end of caves, holding within them a large stash of valuable Rubies, ensuring your future cave expeditions will be lucrative ones.


- Caves no longer contain Upgrade Crates.
- Caves have a much lower chance of producing long or second floor caves, with the probability increasing the deeper you go.
- Crate Hermit crabs have been replaced with Barrel Hermit Crabs in caves.
- Dodge rolling now has proper Dark Souls style invincibility frames!
- Volcanic boulders now fall a little slower to give more time to react.
- Zoomed out the tactical view 40% more.

As always, let us know what y'all think of the new update! Good luck not getting smashed to a pulp!

Lately a lot of you folks have been asking us whether we'd be offering any We Need To Go Deeper related merchandise in the future, and while traditional offerings are still being worked out, we did find a fun way to get one kind of We Need To Go Deeper merchandise in the hands of our fans for FREE!

Introducing the first official We Need To Go Deeper merch: The "Diver" Fold Figure!



This little desk buddy can be yours right now, for free, with just some scissors, glue, and a little bit of paper* and elbow grease!

*Use cardstock paper for best results.

You can download the DIY Cutout Guide for The Diver HERE, and for the more creative types, we're also releasing three different templates so you can design your own Fold Figure at home, or share your designs with other Deeper fans!

Let us know what you think, and if you wind up crafting some buddies, be sure to send us pics at @DeliInteractive on Instagram and Twitter, or the WNTGD Facebook Page!


As far as today's update is concerned, unfortunately it will have to be delayed as it turned out to be more ambitious than we realized. However, it should be out in a matter of days if things go well, as its 90% of the way there, but as always we'd rather give you guys an update that's ready than one half-baked.

Anyway, expect to see the update sometime this week if things go smoothly, and apologies again for our lack of timeliness. Let us know what you think of the merch, and happy diving!

Heavens to betsy, if it isn't another content drop! This time 'round we've got one heckuva look for y'all to try on for size in the form of the ever-beautiful Southern Belle Outfit! Complete with a brand new hat to keep the sun out of your eyes, not that you'd need to worry about that as much bein' in a submarine and all but it's always best to come prepared!



There's no sneak peak at the new update this week, but is coming out THIS FRIDAY so y'all won't have to wait long to see what it has to offer!

Yeeeee haw! Well tickle my britches and slap my thigh, and other old timey sayings, if it isn't a new content drop!

This content drop we're bringing you a brand new Loadout Item - The Pick Axe, and appropriate Prospector clothes to go with it!

The Pick Axe allows you to mine sweet sweet GOOOLD and even more valuable GEMS from within your foes! Who knew living things were filled with so many riches?




And for this week's sneak peak at our next update, I leave you with this:

This week's drop we have two new attire pieces from the Highlands, The Tam O' Shanter bonnet, and the traditional Celtic Kilt, in addition to an all new free freckled skin option! Bring the joy of the Highlands to the Low-lands of The Living Infinite!




This week we also have some new progress on next month's Content Update to show off - this time in GIF form:

This week's content drop we're bringing you guys a new affordable and frankly overdue outfit in the form of the First Mate uniform! And what better way to show off your first matey-ness than to get flat drunk off our new and improved Elixirs, now with zero side effects!




Additionally, this week (and we're planning for the weeks to follow) we're gonna start showing off previews/sneak peeks of what we're brewing up for next month's major content update. So without further ado (and as little context as possible), here's a look at some concepts I've been sketching up for our next feature:



We'll leave the rest to your imagination for now! As always, let us know what you guys think!
