White Knuckle, the speed climbing horror roguelite from Dark Machine Games and publisher DreadXP, is about to get its first major update. Titled The Abyss, this expansion adds a brand new region to Substructure 17 alongside new denizens, powerful Artefact Items, unlockable shortcuts, fresh perks, and more.
After surviving the Silos, Pipeworks, and Habitation, players will descend into The Abyss, a new area with three levels packed with hostile threats, including a fresh form of The Mass known as The Face. The update also introduces Artefact Items that shake up how perks work, while shortcut routes through Silos and Pipeworks provide quicker but riskier climbs. Additional new levels, secrets, and perks round out the package.
The Abyss Update for White Knuckle launches in Early Access on September 29 for PC (via Steam).
