April 1st - Monkey Mode Movement Update?!



🍌 Ancient Dungeon – Monkey Mode Movement Update 🍌



Adventurers… we may have gone bananas.

Starting today, you’ll find a brand new movement option in your settings menu:

Monkey-Style Locomotion 🐒

  • Swing through the dungeon like a true Ape
  • Use your hands to launch, climb, and swing Gorilla-style
  • Totally not how you would imagine exploring dungeons. Surprisingly effective.

To activate it:
Settings → Movement Options → Monke-Style Locomotion

This experimental feature is available for a limited time only! So if you’ve ever dreamed of throwing yourself through the dungeon with pure upper-body strength, now’s your chance.


Watch the chaos unfold.

Let us know: Is this the next step in dungeon exploration for Ancient Dungeon? Or just us losing our grip (on reality)?

Happy April 1st. Probably. 👀

Devlog 17 - Our Valentines Gift to you!




Adventurers, it’s time for another Ancient Dungeon devlog discussing the next update that is rolling out on PSVR2, Quest, and PCVR! This one is packed with exciting new content, quality-of-life improvements, and of course, some classic bug fixes. This update is scheduled for release at the end of this month.

Let's dive into what is coming:

New Additions


  • One New Orb
  • 11 New Relics - more ways to customize your runs!
  • 10 new Insight Upgrades - Plus, a redesigned insight board to refine progression.


  • Exploring Points of Interest - A new Layer of Adventure! This upcoming update brings Points of Interest (POIs)unique areas designed to add more variety, challenge, and intrigue to your dungeon runs!

      What are POIs?
    • These areas break up regular dungeon rooms with new enemies, semi-bosses, puzzles, or just better loot. Some are designed to test your skills, while others add fresh environmental storytelling to Ancient Dungeon.


      Examples of POI
      Lost Storage – A massive, cluttered room filled with crates and lost relics. This acts as a more rewarding item room replacement. Who knows what treasures (or dangers) lie within?

      Entangled Thicket – A twisting maze of vegetation and thorns. You’ll have to slash and carve your way through to escape! This replaces standard corridor and enemy rooms, adding a unique traversal challenge.

      These are just two examples, many more POI's await for you to discover!

  • New Ethereal Heart types – More ways to manage health!

  • New food types (yes, including CHEESE) - MOR snacks, I mean who doesn't like to eat?
  • Autosaving during Dungeon Runs - No more lost progress mid-run!
  • More Boss Room Layouts for The Beast's Cradle - Greater variety and fresh challenges!
  • Enemy Bestiary - Learn more about the creatures lurking in the depths.

  • Player Statistics - Track your Dungeon runs and flex your adventuring skills.


Improvements and Fixes



As always, a host of bug fixes and optimizations to improve your dungeon delving experience are packed in this upcoming update as well.

What's Next after this Update?



  • A brand new weapon combo

Welcome to the final post about 2024, adventurers!

Our team of dungeoneers have been hard at work this year, and we hope you’ve enjoyed the results of all that effort. In addition to putting the final touches on multiplayer, this year has given adventurers new floors to explore, new monsters to smash, and new relics to discover! Who could ask for more than that?

What? You could? Oh, okay…well, in that case…

EVERYTHING WILL BE MORE, AND BETTER, AND GREAT IN 2025!!1!!111!!

pant pant...I really shouldn’t yell like that, my doctor says it’s bad for my blood pressure…anyway…

Here’s the sitch for 2025, friendos: new weapons, weapon skins, cosmetics, more insight upgrades, more floors, more relics–and possibly other things we’ll think of later! The Ancient Dungeon is a wild place!

Now, in all seriousness: thanks to you all for playing and enjoying our game. We’ve been at this for awhile, and it is the unending enthusiasm and love our players provide that keeps us motivated, happy, and eager to work everyday. We still have a ways to go before we hit the big 1.0, but we can’t wait to be there with you all.

Happy New Year, happy this year, and happy every year after!
