Duskers 2.0 Is Heading to Early Access With a Subnautica Veteran at the Helm
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Duskers 2.0 is officially in development from Misfits Attic and Stray Signal, a new studio led by former Subnautica 2 lead Max McGuire, bringing strategic drone scavenging and colony-building to Steam Early Access in the future.
The cult classic ship-scavenging horror game Duskers is officially getting a sequel. Misfits Attic and co-developers Stray Signal announced Duskers 2.0, bringing back the tense, command-line interface gameplay that made the original a standout hit. Players will once again pilot drones through dark, derelict spacecraft, but this time the stakes extend beyond simple survival. Your runs will directly contribute to building colonies for the remnants of a doomed universe, with past outposts leaving lasting impacts on the world around them.
Stray Signal brings some serious industry pedigree to the project. The new studio is helmed by Unknown Worlds co-founder Max McGuire, who is notable as one of the former Subnautica 2 leads who parted ways with Krafton amid a high-profile legal battle last year. While the original Duskers leaned heavily into pure isolation and dread, the developers are injecting a slight shift in tone here, balancing the brutal hazards and tactical panic with a glimmer of hope as you try to secure a second chance for humanity.
Duskers 2.0 is currently early in development, with an upcoming Steam Early Access release planned further down the road. For anyone who spent hours frantically typing commands to save their favorite drones from airlocks and swarms, this sequel is shaping up to be a compelling evolution of that formula. As reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, the game promises to retain that distinct personal connection to your equipment while expanding the scope of the universe.
