Lil Gator Game's "game-sized" DLC, In The Dark, is on the horizon, promising a subterranean adventure for the adorable gator protagonist. This expansion, from MegaWobble and Playtonic Games, will delight fans with a new underground world comparable in size to the original island setting.
The announcement, made via a January 15, 2024 Steam update and accompanying trailer, showcases Lil Gator utilizing new tools and navigating intricate underground environments. The trailer depicts thrilling gameplay moments, including mine cart rides, gliding past waterfalls, and scaling colossal stalagmites.
New weaponry and gadgets are also in store. A mining pick and a baton-like staff are featured, hinting at new gameplay mechanics. Lil Gator won't be alone in this dark adventure; the trailer introduces a colorful cast of new companions, including a mischievous pig, a stoic lizard, a stylish bear, and a charismatic bat.
While a release date remains unannounced (the developers cite a "when it's ready" approach), further updates are promised via social media as the launch draws nearer. The expansion promises to retain the whimsical charm and lighthearted gameplay that defined the original title, offering fans another substantial adventure.
