Sunless Sea Zubmariner Expansion Now Available

Developer Failbetter’s indie hit Sunless Sea has received its first major expansion today — Zubmariner. The expansion adds a wealth of new content to the game and also allows players to venture under the dark ocean waves and explore an entirely separate world on the ocean floor.

Those who pay the Zubmariner expansion’s $10.99 entry fee will be able to convert their ship into a Zubmariner vessel and take it underwater, discovering new ports, quests, items, and mysteries. A bullet list synopsis of what Zubmariner offers can be found below, with text courtesy of a new post on Failbetter’s website):

• More of the deep, compelling world of Sunless Sea and Fallen London, packed with stories and secrets. Dive into unplumbed abysses and claim their eerie blessings. Seek immortality. More beautiful, hand drawn art. Let your curiosity take you to what lies beneath the Sea of Statues, Mount Palmerston, and the dread Dawn Machine.
• Convert your ship into a Zubmariner and dive anywhere in open water to discover new cities, zee-beasts and environments to terrify your crew and slake your hungers.
• 11 new underzee ports, each with their own tales and opportunities for the enterprising Trespasser. Visit Dahut, the city of drowned delights. Brave Wrack, where a Fair King rules the unforgivable. Explore Anthe, and sharpen your tongue, your liver, and your spleen.
• Seek immortality in a new ambition! Track down the Seven Against Nidah, who once came within reach of eternal life. Can you succeed where they failed?
• New enemies to face, from the cunning Wreckship to the inexorable Constant Companion.
• Discover the treasures the zee has claimed. Explore ancient wrecks, avoid hostile witherweed, discover the unexploded Unclear Bomb.
• Sanity is scarcer. Death is closer. We warned you, Trespasser. You should not have come.

Sunless Sea's Zubmariner expansion is now available as of the time of this writing. You can watch its official launch trailer above, and purchase the expansion over on Steam.
