You saved the dog — now wreck the place! MicroProse and solo developer Rowye have officially announced Darkenstein 3D: Total Trampage, the first major expansion for the beloved retro FPS — landing on Steam October 14, 2026.
Built from the ground up by one passionate creator and published by the legendary MicroProse, this DLC promises more levels, more enemies, more weapons, and more ways to turn the battlefield into a mess.
What Is Darkenstein 3D?
The base game — which remains completely free-to-play — is a love letter to classic shooters like Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM, with a delightfully absurd twist:
- You play as a furious drifter tearing through enemy territory
- Your mission: rescue Gunther, your loyal dog, captured in a raid
- Fast, brutal bullet-dodging combat with explosive physics and over-the-top gore
- A rat companion who distracts foes and creates glorious chaos
- No microtransactions, no battle passes — just pure, unfiltered shooter action
What’s In Total Trampage?
This isn’t just extra levels — it’s a full-scale expansion that reimagines, extends, and escalates everything you loved about the base game:
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| 5 Remixed Campaign Levels | Familiar locations — completely rebuilt with new layouts, encounters, and hidden secrets |
| 11 Endless Maps | Survive relentless waves. How long can you hold out? |
| New Weapons | More ways to tear enemies apart |
| New Enemies | Fresh threats firing back at you |
| Challenge Modifiers | Tweak bullet speed, enemy damage, and more — dial it up or down |
| New Game+ | Keep your arsenal, face tougher foes, replay the campaign harder |
| Jukebox & New Soundtrack | Pick your soundtrack for the slaughter |
| New Achievements | Prove you conquered it all |
“More carnage. Same bad attitude.” — Rowye

Made With Passion — Not Profiteering
Rowye spent four years crafting Darkenstein 3D as a tribute to the shooters that defined a generation. Total Trampage is the first paid content — and the base game stays free forever. No loot boxes, no battle passes, no endless currency grinding. Just a dev who loves what they do, giving you more of it.
