Lil Gator Game DLC Expansion Announced

The team behind Lil Gator Game has announced In The Dark, a substantial DLC expansion that continues the charming, light-hearted adventures players first enjoyed over two years ago at the game's initial launch. Developed by MegaWobble and published by Playtonic Games, Lil Gator Game has cultivated a dedicated following, and fans can soon look forward to another major adventure.

For anyone who missed it during a year packed with standout indie titles, Lil Gator Game is a 3D platformer where you control an endearing alligator exploring a series of islands and assisting newfound friends. With art style nods to The Legend of Zelda and a dash of Yakuza-like absurdity, the game has garnered widespread acclaim, boasting an exceptional 99% positive rating from user reviews on Steam.

Now, MegaWobble has revealed a new underground setting that rivals the scale of the original island adventure. In a Steam page update from January 15, 2024, the studio previewed a new journey that recaptures the childlike wonder of the base game within a network of mysterious subterranean caves. An accompanying trailer showcases Lil Gator traversing this new environment in various ways—riding mine cart tracks, gliding past an underground waterfall, and scaling a giant stalagmite.

Lil Gator Game Is Getting a Huge Expansion

Alongside new locations, Lil Gator will have fresh tools and toys to play with. The trailer highlights a mining pick for breaking rock and a staff that Lil Gator spins skillfully like a baton.

Fans appreciate Lil Gator Game for its quirky cast and their amusing quests, and the In The Dark expansion ensures the hero won't be lonely in the vast underground. The preview introduces several new characters for the reptilian protagonist to befriend, including a mischievous pig, a nonchalant lizard, a bear in plaid, and a glamorous bat. While no specific release date has been set beyond the developers stating it will arrive "when it's ready," the team promises more updates via social media as development progresses.
