Today, the three-person, New Mexico-based dev team, Dark Machine Games, alongside indie horror publisher, DreadXP, has launched the first major content update for speed climbing horror roguelite, White Knuckle. The Abyss Update, available now, adds an entirely new region along with a variety of other new content.
vAfter navigating Silos, Pipeworks, and Habitation, players will enter The Abyss, featuring three distinct levels that harbor a number of new denizens, some friendly and many others deadly, including The Face, a new form of The Mass to pursue the Climber. New to the update are Artifact Items— extremely powerful objects that replace gaining a new Perk in The Abyss, each of which can change the way you play. To offer a shorter, albeit more dangerous route to the top, unlockable shortcuts will be added for Silos and Pipeworks. Other additions include new levels in Silos and Pipeworks, new Perks, new secrets, and more.
In White Knuckle, you are a lone climber, and your only goal is to escape the decaying depths of Substructure 17 with your life. To conquer the vertical labyrinth, you must carefully manage hand stamina, limited inventory space, and scarce supplies, all while avoiding or outrunning the dangerous entities that call the compound home. As you scale the crumbling structure, you’ll gain perks that can increase stats like stamina regeneration, jump distance, and speed. Using tools like pitons, rebar, and rope will aid your ascent, but be mindful of your greed, as too many items will weigh you down, making it much harder to climb, and one wrong move will send you plummeting to become one with The Mass.
The Abyss Update New Features:
The Abyss: An all-new region with 3 contained levels.
Five extremely powerful Artifact Items, which replace receiving a new Perk in the Abyss, each capable of changing how you play.
Shortcut Regions for Silos and Pipeworks: After unlocking, skip sections of the game and climb through far shorter, more dangerous areas, at a cost.

September 25th, 2025 — Following a tremendously successful Early Access period, Farthest Frontier will officially launch into 1.0. on October 23rd, 2025, having grown far beyond its already solid foundation into a definitive new contender in the medieval city builder genre.
During Early Access, Farthest Frontierenjoyed a consistent Very Positive rating on Steam across 16 major updates, over 1.2 million copies sold, and over 1.6 million wishlists. The v1.0 release of Farthest Frontier offers the most comprehensive farming and town management sim available, spearheaded by a plethora of new additions and sharpened mechanics:
Revamped progression with new 142-point Tech Tree, giving players more freedom
Dozens of new buildings
Bridges
New Policy System
Updated animations
And more!
CEO & Creative Director Arthur Bruno on the journey to v1.0:
“Farthest Frontier started out as sort of a self-indulgent passion project, to take a break from ARPGs and make the kind of town-builder game I’d dreamed of making in college, when I was playing games like Settlers 2, Caesar 3 and Ultimate Domain. When we started development I was not sure how much demand there was for town-builders anymore, but Banished came out of nowhere and proved there was still a good-sized audience for the right kind of game.
Farthest Frontier contains a lot of the depth and ideas I’d always wanted to see in the genre, like more robust farming and an intricate, fully-simulated economy where villagers are actually carrying resources and items back and forth. It’s been a huge challenge, especially since we’ve never had more than 8 people on it at a time but Farthest Frontier turned out bigger and better than I had imagined and I am incredibly proud of the team and what we’ve built.”
Whether you’ve already constructed dozens of settlements over multiple playthroughs or you’ve just founded your first village, the full release of Farthest Frontier invites players to challenge their survival instincts and logistical skills with unmatched city-building mechanics. Forge a town in an untamed wilderness at the edge of the known world. Harvest raw materials, hunt, fish, farm, and trade to sustain your community, ensuring your people’s survival as they contend with the elements, disease, and outside threats.
Farthest Frontier features an abundance of materials to obtain and crops to harvest, dozens of unique buildings to expand your town, and a singularly deep farming system — right down to soil fertility and seasonal rotations. Provide for your people’s needs with numerous basic and luxury goods, beautiful decor, and customizable religions. Keep the settlement secure behind formidable fortifications and an army that’s yours to assemble and maintain, as you fend off invaders eager to plunder your wealth with deadly cavalry and catapults, or focus on building a scenic metropolis in Pacifist Mode.
Farthest Frontier will launch at $34.99 in October, reflecting the significant growth the game has experienced over the past 3 years. This will not impact existing owners of the game, who have been wonderful supporters throughout this journey. The Early Access price ($29.99) will be discounted during the Steam Autumn sale, which begins on September 29th, for those who wish to get it at a lower price before launch. To learn more, you can visit its official website.
Key Features:
Build, Enhance & Advance: Construct over 190 different buildings as you grow your town from a fledgling settlement to a bustling city. Your town center and housing will advance through multiple building tiers as the prosperity and desirability of your town increases and advancements are made in a vast 140+ point Tech Tree. Upgrade production buildings to increase efficiency and enable the manufacturing of more advanced items. Construct a temple and customize your people’s faith with discoverable relics.
The Most Detailed Farming System… Ever: Strategically select from 12 crops with unique growing characteristics and configure crop rotations to maintain soil fertility, avoid heat and frost damage, and prevent the accumulation of diseases. Cultivate your fields over time by removing weeds and rocks, raising fertility, and adjusting soil mixture to achieve maximum crop production to keep your growing population fed.
Advanced Town Simulation: Villagers actively live out their lives and perform their jobs in real-time. Develop roads, construct transport wagons, and set production and storage limits to reduce spoilage and facilitate the efficient movement of goods throughout your settlement.
Randomly Generated Maps: No playthrough is ever quite the same with completely randomized terrain generation and resource distribution. Beautiful, unique biomes and map themes increase replayability, with more extreme maps leading to distinct challenges. Controls allow players to specify the amount of water or mountains they desire, even down to which resources can generate on the map.
Idyllic to Brutal: Fully customizable difficulty options (including a Pacifist mode) allow you to turn off features like invaders, disease, and combat for a more tranquil experience… or to max out the difficulty to truly test your town-builder prowess.
All Them Old-Timey Diseases: Clean drinking water, proper waste disposal, healthy diets for your villagers, and even proper clothing will help combat the variety of diseases and ailments that plagued the medieval era.
Fend Off Invaders: Progress from wood palisades to stone walls, build towers, barracks and stables, and recruit and equip soldiers in the defense of your town as your rising prosperity attracts the attention of raiders and foreign armies seeking plunder.
Full Mod Support: Take advantage of free Unity development tools and Steam Workshop integration to transform the game to suit your playstyle.
