Curating Chaos: Two Point Museum Launches “Digiverse” Update with Spoof Video Game Exhibits

In a move that perfectly aligns with its quirky and satirical tone, Two Point Museum has launched a brand-new free update. The “Digiverse” update, which became available on August 28, introduces a new expedition map and a host of exhibits that parody popular video game genres. This update, which is part of the game’s version 5.0, brings a fresh and hilarious dimension to the museum management simulator, allowing players to explore digital worlds and bring back some truly bizarre artifacts for their collections.

The core of this new update is the titular “Digiverse,” a new expedition map that becomes available after players earn their second star in the “Memento Mile” level. The Digiverse serves as a hub for different “rifts,” each leading to a unique, digitally themed world. The first two rifts available are a crossover with the indie fishing-horror game Dredge, and a journey into the world of Meat Wizard, a fictional video game series within the Two Point County universe. This dual-pronged approach, featuring a genuinely surprising collaboration and a playful in-house spoof, perfectly encapsulates the game’s unique humor and charm.

Into the Digital Abyss: Meat Wizard and Dredge Crossovers

The Meat Wizard rift is a delightful homage to retro gaming. Players can send their experts on expeditions into a world with a pixelated, 8-bit aesthetic, where they can discover exhibits based on the fictional franchise. This includes new interactive displays and decorative items, allowing players to build a museum wing dedicated to the history of a game that never actually existed. Furthermore, this rift introduces a new gameplay mechanic: “Power-Ups,” which can be crafted in the workshop and placed around the museum to provide various bonuses to guests, boosting things like their engagement and donation rates.

The collaboration with Dredge is a more unexpected and thematically darker addition. This rift transports players and their expert staff into the haunting, fog-filled waters of the Grey Isles, the setting of the original horror game. Here, players can explore new points of interest, fish for bizarre “aberration” fish, and bring back ten new, uniquely unsettling creatures for their aquariums. The developers have even incorporated the original game’s mechanics, with the risk of encountering more dangerous events if players choose to explore at night. This crossover not only adds new content but also introduces a new layer of atmosphere and a sense of genuine peril that is a stark contrast to the lighthearted tone of the rest of the game.

Beyond the Rifts: Quality-of-Life and Future Plans

Beyond the new content, the 5.0 update also includes a host of quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes. The developers at Two Point Studios have made significant improvements to the gamepad UI, optimized performance, and added new language support for Latin-American Spanish, Thai, and Russian. The inclusion of new perks and the ability to craft powerful “Power-Ups” adds a deeper layer of strategy to the museum management loop, ensuring that even veteran players will have something new to master.

The developers have also hinted that this is just the beginning for the Digiverse. They have confirmed that more rifts will be added in the future, meaning the possibilities for new crossover exhibits are virtually endless. The success of this update, with its seamless blend of humor, genuine excitement, and practical improvements, sets a high bar for future content drops. For fans of Two Point Museum and for those who appreciate a clever and well-executed game parody, the Digiverse update is an absolute must-play. It solidifies the game’s reputation as a genre-defining simulator that isn’t afraid to take risks and have a little fun.
