Sink Into Still Wakes The Deep: Siren’s Rest Available Now

PRESS RELEASE – June 18, 2025 – All checks complete. Time to dive. Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest, a paid story expansion for narrative horror Still Wakes the Deep, winner of three BAFTA Games Awards, is available now. Players can submerge themselves in the story today on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.

Set over a decade after the events of Still Wakes the Deep, Siren’s Rest follows a diving crew as they explore the wreck of the Beira D oil rig, using a crowbar, cutting torch, and camera to unearth the final moments of the crew. Featuring an original story led by an all-new cast, Siren’s Rest is a chance to see the Beira D tragedy in a new light, and discover what still lurks in the darkness.

Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest features an all-new cast led by Lois Chimimba (Doctor Who, Shetland) as Mhairi, co-starring Lorn Macdonald (Bridgerton, The Lazarus Project) and David Menkin (Final Fantasy XVI, Alan Wake 2), with Kate Saxon directing. 

The expansion is helmed by Creative Director John McCormack (returning from Still Wakes the Deep) and features a new story written by Sagar Beroshi (Helldivers 2) and Emma Beeby (also returning from Still Wakes the Deep).

About Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest

1986. The Beira D is now a groaning steel catacomb interred in the inky depths of the North Sea. What really happened that December day in 1975, when communications to the mainland were severed and the rig sank without a trace? What answers can be given to families who still grieve, 10 years on?

You are Mhairi. And you will find those answers. As the leader of a saturation dive to the wreck of the Beira D, you descend, a fragile light in the crushing dark. Your mission: uncover the fate of the crew and recover what remains of their passing.

A copy of the base game is required to play this expansion.

Editor, occasional game dev, constant dad, horror writer, noisy musician. I love games that put effort into fun mechanics, even if there’s a bit of jank here and there. I’m also really keen on indie dev news. My first experience with video games was through the Game and Watch version of Donkey Kong, because I’m older than I look.
