● From a solo developer's holiday project to global million-selling phenomenon! The digging craze rises again
"A Game About Digging A Hole" was initially created by a solo developer in just a few weeks, inspired by Voxel technology experiments during the development of "Solarpunk." The game sparked a frenzy on short-video and social media platforms, achieving an astonishing cumulative sales figure of over 1.3 million copies worldwide. The sequel is being developed jointly by the original creator and Mipumi Games, which handled the console and mobile ports of the previous title. Mipumi Games has participated in the development of AAA titles such as "Alan Wake 2," "Control," "Hitman," and "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle." Leveraging their extensive experience in multiplayer and cross-platform development, they will inject a more refined and smooth gaming experience and connection quality into "A Game About Digging A Hole Together." Over the past few months, Mipumi Games has completely rebuilt the game's codebase from scratch to ensure smoother and more stable performance.
● "Digging alone is lonely, digging together is fun!" New Multiplayer and Cross-Platform Support
The sequel, "A Game About Digging A Hole Together," retains the core and addictive simple gameplay loop of its predecessor: "Dig, sell resources, upgrade equipment, and dig deeper." This time, the biggest innovation responds to the loudest call from millions of players worldwide—introducing new multiplayer digging gameplay! Additionally, the game adds various terrains, tools, hidden items, and underground secrets, offering a deeper digging experience. The development team has carefully studied and analyzed comments, messages, and community feedback from players of the previous game, directly incorporating this feedback into the sequel.
Players can not only enjoy the immersive fun of digging alone but also connect cross-platform with up to 3 friends to form a team, delve into the unknown underground together, and jointly search for the mysterious treasures rumored to be buried in the deepest depths.
● What is the truth buried deep underground...? Official release date to be announced!
In addition to the new multiplayer mode and upgraded equipment, the development team revealed that beneath the seemingly simple act of digging holes, there seem to be unprecedented secrets and unknown "ultimate treasures" hidden deep underground, waiting for players to discover.
The developers stated that "A Game About Digging A Hole Together" is currently undergoing intensive development and optimization. The game is scheduled for release in Winter 2026. Stay tuned for more surprises!
