THE CRUNCH

Coffee Stain Studios has announced the first expansion for its factory-building game Satisfactory, titled Core Values. The DLC will take players underground for a new expedition, introducing new narrative elements, factory buildings, creatures, and biomes. The studio has teased a 'friendly-looking feline' in the expansion. Core Values is slated for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series, though a specific launch date has not been set.

The expansion aims to change how players approach automation by introducing new tools and facing them with fresh challenges, rather than simply adding a new setting. Coffee Stain Studios has confirmed that the expansion will share logistics with the base game to ensure a seamless integration, while still offering a distinct gameplay experience.

The announcement trailer and official details do not specify when Core Values will launch, leaving fans to wait for further updates on the release schedule.
