NewGen Studio Drops First Gameplay Trailer for Gone Digging

Tunisian indie developer NewGen Studio has released its first gameplay trailer for Gone Digging, an upcoming 1–4 player cooperative survival horror game, published September 9, 2026. The trailer gives a closer look at the mining, looting and survival mechanics that define the project, which was first revealed on Steam earlier in the year.

The game casts players as treasure-seeking diggers who enter unstable caves by day, collect valuable resources and upgrade equipment before a far more dangerous night phase begins. Its core loop blends resource management and exploration with escalating horror. Teams decide together which loot to sell, keep or sacrifice, adding a risk-versus-reward layer to the cooperative play.

Gone Digging will launch in Steam Early Access, with an expected run of roughly 9 to 12 months. During that period NewGen plans to expand the game using community feedback, adding more maps, monsters and digging tools while improving the multiplayer experience. A single-player demo is already available on the Steam page, and the game can be wishlisted now.

The announcement also places the title within NewGen's broader pipeline. The studio continues to support its breakout game West Hunt while developing a sequel, and it has signalled further horror projects and a new title, North Hunt, later in the year. The coverage is a short news item from an outlet focused on the African games industry, and it reflects the growing visibility of North African indie developers on Steam. It offers no sales figures, pricing or firm release date.
