Lil Gator Game reveals ‘huge’ In the Dark expansion

Lil Gator Game previously kept the whimsical fun going with additions like New Game+ and Baby Mode. Now, it’s getting ready to explore the world further with a “huge game expansion” called In the Dark.

According to developer MegaWobble, the In the Dark expansion doubles the size of Lil Gator Game. As the title and key art implies, this one takes our adorable hero underground to explore caves, with the promise of meeting a bunch of new characters in the process. You can head underground for yourself in the announcement trailer below.

The new content is located on the main island within a previously blocked entrance. In addition to the new friends awaiting Lil Gator, there are also some teenage ne’er-do-wells threatening to put a stop to the cozy frivolity to which we’ve become so thoroughly accustomed. New item types, a ribbon-powered double jump, and more are on the way to add to the exploratory opportunities. 

Lil Gator Game: In the Dark is currently in the works for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch. At the time of this writing, there’s no release date in place for the expansion, but there are options for both newcomers and returning players. The expansion will arrive alongside a ‘Gator of the Year Edition’ of the main game that bundles it with all the new content.
