The cosy city-puzzler that turned floating islands into works of art is heading to the dunes. Bitfall Studios and Stray Fawn Publishing have officially released the Ancient Egypt DLC for TerraScape today, March 9, 2026.

If you’ve been looking for an excuse to return to your floating kingdoms, this expansion brings more than just a fresh coat of golden paint—it introduces entirely new mechanics that challenge how you shape your world.

A New Way to Build: Monuments and the Nile

The heart of the Ancient Egypt DLC lies in its interaction with the environment. Unlike previous biomes, the desert is a living, breathing challenge.

Dynamic Nile Flooding: The river isn’t just for show. Seasonal floods will reshape your terrain, forcing you to adapt your strategy. While water can wash away poorly placed buildings, it also reveals fertile land and new opportunities for expansion.

The Monument System: Building a pyramid isn’t as simple as dropping a card. New merge mechanics allow your structures to evolve into massive monument complexes. You’ll need to plan your layouts meticulously and gather specific materials to see these legendary wonders rise from the sand.

God Deck Progression: Gain the favour of the gods to succeed. You can now unlock decks tied to deities like Ptah and Osiris, offering unique tools and strategic paths that feel distinct from the base game’s European-inspired sets.

Terraforming and Evolution

The DLC also introduces a deeper Upgrade System. You’ll watch as barren steppes transform into ploughed fields and eventually irrigated farmland. This evolution doesn’t just look pretty; it fundamentally changes how the buildings on that land perform, adding a layer of strategic depth that veteran “Scapers” will appreciate.

Free Update: Map Editor & Steam Workshop

Even if you aren’t ready to dive into the desert just yet, today is a big day for all players. Launching alongside the DLC is a massive free update featuring the long-awaited Terra-Map Editor.

With full Steam Workshop integration, the community can now create, share, and download custom puzzles and kingdom layouts. Whether you want to design a “hardcore” survival island or a relaxing zen garden, the tools are now in your hands.

Availability and Discounts

You can grab the Ancient Egypt DLC right now on Steam for PC and Mac.

Pricing: £8.50 / $9.99 / €9.99.

Launch Offer: There is a 10% discount for the first week.

New Players: If you’re new to the game, a special bundle featuring the base game and the DLC is available at 25% off.

“Ancient Egypt brings a completely new map generation style with different elevation ratios and environmental challenges. Every Terra feels like uncharted land waiting to be discovered.” — Bitfall Studios

TerraScape has always been about that perfect balance between relaxing vibes and “just one more turn” puzzle logic. With the addition of the Nile’s unpredictable nature and the scale of the new monuments, it looks like our floating kingdoms are about to get a lot more legendary.
