From Jungle Survival to Lost Civilisations: Soulmask’s Free DLC Unlocks a New Chapter of Ancient Imagination
May 30th, 2025 - Soulmask, the breakout survival sandbox game developed by CampFire Studio and published by Qooland Games, has announced its first major cultural expansion, the free Golden Legend DLC, coming on June 5th.
Inspired by ancient Sanxingdui Chinese civilisation, the new DLC marks a turning point in Soulmask’s journey. What began in the primal chaos of rainforest survival pushes into uncharted territory, fusing ancient mythical symbolism with sandbox survival exploration systems.
This DLC introduces new masks, exploration zones, and a collection of ornate bronze furnishings that allow players to shape their interpretations of a long-lost ritual civilisation.
A Glimpse Beneath the Surface: Myth, Metal, and Mystery
Launching on June 5th, the free Golden Legend DLC introduces:
The Golden Mask – An ornate ritual artefact adorned with copper eye protrusions and engraved Kui dragon patterns, is granted unique powers:
- Divine Sight – Detect threats and terrain changes from a distance
- Heaven’s Watch – Analyse enemy stats, specialities, and potential
- Sunbird Blessing – Receive passive buffs that enhance movement and perception
The Sunken Altar – Deep in the ocean lies a lost branch of Eastern civilisation. A new submerged zone welcomes exploration, featuring shipwreck ruins, ritual relics, and ceremonial architecture wrapped in mythological symbolism.
The Golden Legend Set – A new line of Bronze Age–themed furniture, mask displays, and ornamental props that let players transform their homesteads into stylised ancestral sanctuaries.

Smarter Survival Through Automation
Coinciding with the DLC, Soulmask is rolling out core gameplay upgrades to the base game, focused on advancing automation in construction and logistics:
Building Planning Mode – Players can now record any custom-built structure plans. Tribesmen will automatically collect resources and rebuild them in other locations, dramatically improving the speed and efficiency of base expansion.
Automated Logistics System– Powered ziplines can be set up between homesteads and resource points, creating a flexible transport network for streamlined material delivery across the map.
These features allow for faster, more organised tribe management and base development, especially for players aiming to build on a larger scale.
Looking Forward: 1.0, Egypt, and the Future of Civilisation
The Golden Legend DLC arrives as a special gift to mark Soulmask’s first anniversary in Early Access - a thank-you to players who have shaped the world through feedback, exploration, and creativity.
Soulmask will exit Early Access with its 1.0 release later this year, alongside a new Egypt-themed DLC. These milestones will continue to broaden the game’s cultural inspirations and deepen its automation systems, offering players new ways to build, govern, and survive across richly imagined ancient worlds.
Producer Zima has described his long-term vision for Soulmask as “the intelligent multi-civilisation survival sandbox,” where automation and cultural diversity form the foundation of a dynamic, player-driven experience.
As new civilisations emerge and automation deepens, Soulmask continues to redefine what a survival sandbox can be.
