The trailer showcases the mysterious world of Soulmask, with a focus on spectacular combat, building mechanics and environments from the new Ancient Egypt-themed DLC.

Later in the trailer, players can see brand new customisable ships including the Tribe Sand Boat and Falcon-Class Airship, as well as powerful new boss encounters including the intimidating Soulcall Hound, Onyx Scarab and Savagehorn Tribe Leader.

In addition to the new Horus Mask, the Shifting Sands DLC will also introduce new Anubis and Amun-Ra masks granting incredible new abilities.

In the Shifting Sands DLC, Soulmask ventures into a bold new direction where ancient Egyptian mythology intertwines with alien technology.

This expansion introduces brand-new god-themed masks and an all-new “live-on-your-ship” survival system, letting players sail, glide, and ascend across the scorching desert landscapes. Players will equip the masks of Horus, Anubis, Amun-Ra, and Sobek, unleashing godlike abilities that may redefine combat and exploration. Anti-gravity solar ships hint at a new survival meta: Craft and assemble modular ships to traverse deserts, rivers, and the skies, expanding possibilities far beyond traditional sandbox play.

Together, these elements set the stage for the DLC’s key features:

• Egyptian Gods’ Themed Masks – Transform Into Divine Avatar
  • Players will acquire four all-new masks, each granting powers inspired by Egypt’s most iconic deities:
    • Horus Mask – Celestial Wings
      • A mask players obtain early in the DLC. Become the avatar of the sky god, soar freely through the air, and dive-bomb enemies with devastating aerial attacks.
    • Anubis Mask – Final Verdict
      • Take on the mantle of the underworld’s guardian. Inflict weakening curses, balance life force between you and your enemies, and even resurrect fallen foes to fight at your command.
    • Sobek Mask – Abyssal Overlord
      • Channel the power of the crocodile god. Generate protective torrents of water and imprison enemies within spiraling flows.
    • Amun-Ra Mask – Glorious Hymn
      • Become the solar deity’s incarnation. Command sunlight and searing flames to incinerate enemies with divine power.

• New System: Life on the Ship – Build Your Mobile Fortress
  • The DLC introduces four new customizable vessels, each foundational to survival in the shifting sands:
    • Small Wooden Boat – The fastest and earliest accessible ship; the first vessel players can expand and customize.
    • Falcon-Class Solar Airship – A mid-sized craft with significantly expanded construction space and modular capacity.
  • All ships support full modular construction, allowing players to install systems such as:
    • Light anti-gravity engines to lift the ship into the sky
    • Sand skids for desert traversal
    • Consoles, gangways, speed sails, and other functional modules
    • Ballistas, deck cannons, and heavy artillery to forge a fully weaponized mobile fortress

Tribesmen can board and work on the ship, enabling players to establish a fully operational production base in mid-air.

• Harsh Survival in the Scorching Lands – Explore ancient Egyptian-inspired new biomes with dynamic day-night cycles and harsher survival challenges, fully immersing players in the style and atmosphere of Egypt’s legendary landscapes.

Soulmask is a survival sandbox game that delivers an authentic survival experience and attracted more than 750,000 early access players, winning very positive reviews.

As the "last one" blessed with the mysterious mask, players grapple for survival in a primitive land steeped in mysterious faiths, carving out a path to ascendance. Start from nothing, explore, build, recruit tribesmen to fortify your clan, and ultimately unravel the mysterious truths hidden behind the civilizations of this world.

With over 80% positive reviews in Early Access, and the well-praised Sanxingdui DLC, with 95% positive reviews on Steam, Soulmask has cemented itself as a key player within the survival sandbox genre.

Now, with Shifting Sands, it takes aim at bridging historical authenticity and speculative science fiction in ways unmatched within the genre, setting it apart from peers in the genre.

Soulmask Version 1.0 and the Shifting Sands DLC are scheduled to launch in Spring 2026. In anticipation of the 1.0 release, the game’s price will be adjusted at launch. Players interested in joining before the price update are encouraged to take advantage of the current final promotional pricing available on Steam, with a new all-time-low 35% off discount starting on 4 December and running through 5 January.
