• February Dev Update! - 28 February 2026

  February Development Intel - Inside the DeathgroundOperatives, we hope you’re all doing well. We know it’s been a little longer than anticipated since our last communication, but since the beginning of the new year the development team has been back at work behind the scenes. This update features just a few of the things we’ve been working on over the past few months, with plenty of effort going into work that makes the whole experience feel more consistent on a foundational level, based on your feedback.It’s also worth mentioning that we’ve gone through an upgrade from Unreal Engine 5.2 to Unreal Engine 5.7 to make use of several new features, though as with any upgrade, this naturally causes its own set of problems which we’ve been weeding out.Of course, we’re still working on missions, sub-missions (such as the upcoming sub-mission ‘Biomedical - Feeding Frenzy’) and even more fixes a…

• Deathground is Launching TOMORROW?! - Lead up to launch Mini-showcase #5 - 6 October 2025

  What a journey this has been, Operatives. And really, this is only just the beginning. Before we launch, here's a quick FAQ hosted by Jaw Drop Games Artist & Designer, Joseph, who's coming to you (not so) live from the bunker in the heart of the Deathground - so you know what to expect! Oh dear, well fingers crossed that Joseph doesn't get eaten by raptors before he can get back to work on Deathground's upcoming early access updates. On that note, does anyone have a spare Pteranodon-proof helicopter we can use to go and fetch him?In case you missed our previous updates (Which would be fairly difficult, considering there have been 4 of these mini showcases!), the game will be launching into Early Access on the 7th of October, at an initial price of $14.99 / €14.79 / £11.99. We also mentioned that there will be a discount for the first two weeks.Deathground will be launching tomorrow (7th…

• From Sketch to Scare! - Lead up to launch Mini-showcase #4 - 5 October 2025

  Making a real dinosaur from scratch isn’t exactly an easy task, but making a digital one - okay, well that’s perhaps a slightly easier task, but it’s still no walk in the T. rex paddock! So how do you go from idea to concept to creature chasing you down and biting your head off?How it’s made - Deathground Dino edition!The answer is: ‘With the help of some incredibly talented illustrators, artists, animators and programmers.’The following post barely scratches the surface. We won't be showing off every single piece of concept art or all the work-in-progress screenshots, because if we did, this post would be significantly longer.Instead, we’re just going to include a handful of the work done by Bobby Rebholz (Concept Artist), Damien Guimoneau (Creature Artist) and others who had a hand at creating the dinosaur assets. Step 1: Concept artworkThe first step to making anything is to have som…

• Development Team Q&A - Lead up to launch Mini-showcase #3 - 3 October 2025

  We’re asked plenty of questions about Deathground every day, often serious and important ones like: “When game?” - “What price game?” - “Roadmap for game?” - and of course “Can I pet the Compy?” The answers to those critical questions are:Deathground is launching on the 7th of October (Finally!)The launch price will be $14.99 / €14.79 / £11.99 (With a launch discount for two weeks!)Here's the first teaser roadmap - which we also showed off earlier this week!FULL SIZED VERSION HERE And finally, no - or, yes, maybe? I guess you’d better buy the game when it launches to find out! With the big questions answered, we wanted to try something a little different. Instead of just talking patch notes and features (which you’re getting plenty of this week, with this being the third in our lead-up-to-launch showcases), we’re here to give you a peek behind the dinosaurs at the team working on the ga…

• The story of [REDACTED] - Lead up to launch Mini-showcase #2 - 2 October 2025

  People often ask us, “Hey, what’s the story behind Deathground? Who do we play as, when and where are we, and what are our goals?’’ and we always tell them the same thing; \, \ and of course, \. And that’s for good reason - you’ve likely seen the ‘AEON technologies group’ logo around the place, and they’re very secretive about what exactly went on in the complex and why it all went wrong. Well, we’re here today to reveal a few of those secrets, leaking classified information from the D.A.R.T. team, which will give you a better understanding of the setting and story of the Deathground. Let’s tackle the Who, What, and Why In Deathground, you and your friends take on the role of a member of ‘D.A.R.T. ’ (the ‘Deathground - Asset - Retrieval - Taskforce’), a specialist group of operatives composed of The Scout, The Engineer, The Survivalist, The Medic, The Hunter, and The Observer - each one…

• Feather or not? - Lead-up-to-launch Mini showcase #1 - 1 October 2025

  We’ve all got an image of what a dinosaur is supposed to look like in our heads...For some, that’s the ‘classic look’ of the towering, scaly reptile with a killer set of teeth - the image burned into our brains by movies, toys and of course, museum displays of the 2000s, which brought dinosaurs to life with scale replicas (pun intended) of what we believed these fearsome and monstrous creatures looked like at the time. For others, it’s the more ‘modern look’ of a ferocious feathered fiend, light on its feet, cautiously moving forward and sizing up its prey. You often hear people call this the ‘scientifically accurate’ version, as it’s inspired by exciting modern paleontological discoveries which have completely shaken up how we picture dinosaurs today.So, which version is better?Well, we’re not here to debate that - we can see the valid points on both sides of the issue, but we still en…

• Watch our Official New Launch Trailer! - 30 September 2025

  Watch this…That’s right! Deathground is coming to Early Access next week on 7th Oct! Here’s a little breakdown of some of the big FAQs.How much will Deathground cost?Deathground will be launching into Early Access at an initial price of $14.99 / €14.79 / £11.99. And there will be a discount for the first two weeks!We want to make this game as accessible as possible. We hope that this starting price helps you and your squad enter the Deathground sooner and get stuck into our starting missions straight away. We will be evaluating Deathground’s price later down the line, and it will most likely increase as we develop towards 1.0 and introduce some major updates. Essentially, this is going to be the lowest base price Deathground will ever be. With early buyers getting the most value - as Deathground is a one-time purchase, you’ll be getting all future content throughout Early Access at no e…
