Greetings, Explorers!

We're thrilled to announce the release the Enhanced Expedition Update, now available on the Main Branch! For those that have missed our recent Experimental Branch releases this update represents a significant milestone for the game, focusing on refining and enhancing the overall gameplay experience.


The map system is now better than ever, featuring accuracy on all worlds and even underground. Pin point locations of gases, liquids, and even rocks can be found with ease.


We've taken the Queen boss creature to a whole new level in this update. Not only can she spawn hatching eggs full of Larvae, but can also roam the planet's surface!


We hammered on the spaceship travel in multiplayer modes to handle all edge cases to ensure stable traversal from world to world when playing Private and Public Multiplayer.


Osiris New Dawn is a big game with a lot of features that are unique to this title. To aid in your adventure we’ve re-introduced the Field Guide and brought it into the current version, highlighting all the features and content in the game.


We've listened to your feedback and implemented numerous quality of life enhancements to make your exploration more seamless and enjoyable than ever before.


We've squashed countless bugs to ensure a smoother and more stable gameplay experience. Your journey through Osiris New Dawn will be free from pesky interruptions and glitches.


This update is packed with additional tweaks, adjustments, and surprises to enhance your exploration experience. We can't wait for you to discover them all!


Although it's not absolutely necessary, we recommend starting a new avatar profile for playing the Single Player Story mode as there may be some out-of-sync data.
