There’s something quietly addictive about Dome Keeper – that constant push and pull between digging deeper and rushing back to defend your dome. Now, with the arrival of The Lost Keepers DLC and a huge free update, that tension has evolved in some exciting new ways.
Available now on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Windows – and with the base game sitting comfortably on Game Pass – this latest drop gives both new and returning players plenty of reasons to descend back into the depths.
And this time, you don’t have to do it alone.
New Keepers, New Ways To Play
At the heart of The Lost Keepers DLC are two brand-new characters, each bringing a distinct approach to the core gameplay loop.
The Infiltrator is all about speed and precision, zipping through tunnels with rope-assisted movement and agile jumps. It’s a playstyle that rewards quick thinking and efficient mining routes, perfect for players who like to stay on the move.
On the other end of the spectrum sits the Beastmaster, a far more unconventional option. Using tentacle-like movement and supported by catgoblin companions, this keeper introduces a more chaotic, almost experimental rhythm to exploration and combat.
Together, they offer fresh ways to tackle the familiar cycle of digging, upgrading, and defending – without losing the essence of what makes Dome Keeper tick. You’ll find that DLC on the Xbox Store.
More To Unlock Beneath The Surface
The DLC doesn’t stop at new characters. It expands the game with additional assignments, pets, and a range of cosmetic rewards to discover as you play.
These additions subtly deepen the progression loop, giving players more reasons to experiment with different builds and approaches. It’s not about overwhelming the experience, but about layering in extra variety that keeps each run feeling just a little bit different.
A Free Update That Changes Everything – Multiplayer Finally Arrives
Alongside the paid DLC, Dome Keeper receives one of its biggest updates yet – and it’s completely free.
Multiplayer is now fully integrated, bringing co-op and competitive play, both locally and online. Whether you’re teaming up to survive the waves together or racing against each other underground, it transforms what was once a solitary experience into something far more dynamic.
The addition of split-screen and online options makes it easier than ever to jump in with friends, adding new strategies and moments of chaos to an already tense gameplay loop.
