- Sunken Engine 1.0 Now! - 10 September 2026
Greetings to everyone from the shores of Blackreef, After more than a year of development, Sunken Engine is finally releasing in its full version. Dozens of content updates, hundreds of bug fixes, hundreds of comments and feedback… When we first came up with the idea for Sunken Engine, we never imagined that the game would reach such a large audience. But when we saw the interest people showed in the game on the very first day we opened the Steam store page, we realized just how much work we had ahead of us.

So many bugs, so many wrong decisions, so much exhaustion… But throughout all of it, there were the amazing comments, supportive messages, and hilarious…
