Darkwater 1.0 is coming March 26
Targon Studios
1.0 IS COMING SOON
We're excited to announce that Darkwater is leaving Steam Early Access on March 26, 2026 @ 10AM PDT! This will coincide with the final major update - NATIONS - which adds a variety of new submarines, weapons, districts, achievements, multiplayer system changes, cosmetics, community requested features, and more!
We'll have more to share (including the full patch notes) next week alongside the 1.0 launch!
PRICE INCREASE?
Nope! As Darkwater enters into 1.0 we are pleased to announce that there will be no increase in price. In fact, we are making it cheaper for a limited time! Grab Darkwater for 30% off from now until April 2nd! If you love the game and want to support Targon Studios further, we will be releasing a shiny new paid Supporter's Pack DLC alongside the 1.0 launch that adds a couple of extra goodies for the most dedicated fans.
- Be Good as Gold with the Golden Diving Suit (3 variations) and the Golden Wrench. They provide no gameplay advantages but you will look great repairing those leaks!
- Experience the soundscape of Darkwater with the complete 25 song soundtrack, including ambient tunes and that addictive Store OST to listen to at your leisure!
This DLC will be entirely optional, cosmetic only, and allow us to keep the game cheap for you and your friends.
