Latest Drill to Earth's Core Update: Frozen Layer and Blinker update
The Frozen Layer and Blinker update swapped one layer for another at the same depth, so the layers page now lists the Frozen Layer between the Toxic Layer and The Abyss. The Blinker page covers the new enemy, and the mutations guide explains how repeated mutation effects now work. The Roblox page showed the game as last updated on 3 October 2026 when it was read on 5 October 2026.
