Nearly a decade after the haunting events of the Beira D oil rig, Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest submerges players in a chilling new descent beneath the North Sea. Launching June 18, 2025, this paid DLC expansion continues the legacy of the critically acclaimed survival horror title from The Chinese Room, the BAFTA-winning developers behind Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs.
Following its multiple wins at the BAFTA Games Awards, Still Wakes the Deep is back—and it’s more terrifying than ever.

🌊 What Is Siren’s Rest?
Set in 1986, over ten years after the Beira D tragedy, Siren’s Rest places you in the diving suit of Mhairi, the leader of a specialized saturation dive team. Your mission? Investigate the submerged wreckage of the oil rig and uncover what truly happened on that fateful night in December 1975, when communications were lost and the Beira D vanished without a trace.
But in the suffocating silence of the sea, you’re not alone. Armed only with a cutting torch, crowbar, and a camera, you’ll face not only the physical dangers of underwater exploration—but something far more unknowable and horrific.
🧠 A Narrative-Driven Descent Into Madness
The expansion boasts an entirely new storyline, penned by Sagar Beroshi (Helldivers 2), and features an all-new voice cast led by:
- 🎙 Lois Chimimba (Doctor Who, Shetland) as Mhairi
- 🎙 Lorn Macdonald (Bridgerton, The Lazarus Project)
- 🎙 David Menkin (Final Fantasy XVI, Alan Wake 2)
Directed by Kate Saxon, the cast delivers emotional performances that heighten the game’s psychological depth and existential horror.
