Free “Endless Expeditions” Update Now Available for ‘Pacific Drive’ [Trailer]
Ironwood Studios has rewarded those 1 million plus Pacific Drive players with their most substantial update yet with “Endless Expeditions”. Packed with new features and improvements headlined by the addition of Expeditions and the introduction of the Suspend feature, the update is further celebrated with a 40% discount for Pacific Drive on Steam until April 15 and PlayStation until April 23.
The Endless Expeditions update adds two highly requested features to Pacific Drive. For roguelite fans, Expeditions starts you in the garage with an ever-changing set of challenges and restrictions, generating new routes, and ramping up the difficulty to ensure that every journey feels fresh. You’re also now able to use the new Suspend feature to save your progress at any time, exit the game and return when you’re ready to pick things up again in the game.
Other additions in the update include quality of life improvements, such as upgrades to essential tools like the Plasma Scrapper and Thermal Vacuum, UX features and the addition of Ida’s Exchange. Ida is a trader who offers players new parts while in the Zone in exchange for scrap material, negating the need to go back to their garage.
And no road trip would be complete without the perfect soundtrack, and the radio playlist for Pacific Drive is now even better with 21 new tracks from new and returning artists. The Pacific Drive Radio Soundtrack Vol. 2 is also available to listen to on your actual road trips via streaming music services too.
Pacific Drive is available for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. It has also been shortlisted for Best Debut in this year’s BAFTA Game Awards and Best Game Writing at the 2025 Nebula Awards.
Merging role-based social deduction and survival horror for a unique take on asymmetrical multiplayer, independent developer Ryan Laley Games has announced that their upcoming title Mimic will launch into Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store on October 27. The devs expect the game to remain in the service for a year to address player feedback, and to expand the game’s content.
In Mimic, players must escape the crumbling Icarus spacecraft while rooting out who amongst them is secretly a mimic: an alien creature that can disguise itself as a fellow human survivor. Players must solve various objectives to create their escape route while surviving against two sinister threats pursuing them. Meanwhile, as the titular Mimic, you’ll hunt from the shadows, hiding beneath the flesh of a friend. With five players in online matchmaking and up to ten in customizable private lobbies, Mimic aims to blend tense survival, social deduction, and dynamic mechanics into a highly replayable multiplayer experience.
Unlike other asymmetrical multiplayer horror games that pit survivors against a sole antagonist, players in Mimic are assigned secret roles that dictate their win conditions. Crew members must repair the ship’s vital systems and identify the alien threat before it’s too late. Meanwhile, the player assigned the agent role has ulterior motives of the corporate kind unbeknownst to the rest of the crew that doesn’t prioritize their survival. Lastly, the sole purpose of the mimic, is to blend in, gain trust, and strike when survivors are most vulnerable. But the mimic isn’t the only threat at play: an NPC android roams the halls of the Icarus, indiscriminately hunting all organic lifeforms who could be the mimic in disguise.
Making things even more interesting is the fact that players do not have weapons, and must rely on their wits and survival instincts. Whether with pure intent or selfish gain in mind, players have the power to influence the android’s pursuit, sabotage escape efforts, and sow chaos amongst the ranks.
In addition to PC, Mimic will also launch for the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series once the game exits Early Access next year.
