The video outlines Star Citizen’s upcoming dungeon content, featuring two major instanced co-op FPS experiences—the Municipal Works at Levski and the Depths beneath ArcCorp—offering mission-driven gameplay with combat, puzzles, and progression expected around 2026-2027.

The video discusses upcoming dungeon content in Star Citizen, focusing on two major new instances: the Municipal Works at Levski on Nyx and the Depths under ArcCorp. These dungeons represent significant gameplay additions expected around 2026 and beyond, offering instanced, mission-driven co-op FPS content. Players will be able to progress through multiple chapters or levels, unlocking new areas and missions that include combat, mining, salvage, and investigation, with progress saved between sessions. The Municipal Works is centered around industrial tunnels and infrastructure issues at Levski, while the Depths is a similar concept set beneath ArcCorp’s Area 18, featuring puzzles, exploration, and combat.
The Municipal Works dungeon is designed to be a repeatable, mission-based experience with tailored gameplay for groups or solo players. It will feature various mission types, bosses, hidden loot, and high-tier blueprints, emphasizing long-term FPS gameplay at landing zones. The video highlights the anticipation for more diverse boss designs beyond the typical “snake or worm with laser beams” trope. The content is expected to be released in patches around 4.10 or 4.11, with Reco Blagia potentially serving as a key mission contact.
The Depths under ArcCorp is described as an expansion of landing zone gameplay, offering a two-part dungeon accessible from Area 18. The upper section includes an open-world sandbox with local missions, contested zones, and activities like pest control, while the lower levels consist of instanced, PvE-focused missions with puzzles and combat. Players will unlock deeper levels through progression, gaining access to better loot and higher-tier blueprints as they delve further. This content is anticipated to arrive in early 2027 and aims to engage players who prefer FPS gameplay without needing to fly around the universe.
Beyond these dungeons, the video touches on the possibility of other existing locations receiving instanced or dynamic mission content, such as distribution centers and Onyx facilities. The goal is to transform underutilized areas into vibrant content hubs with varied mission types, including raids, heists, stealth infiltrations, and defense scenarios. The discussion also covers the broader community debate about instancing PvE and PvP content, emphasizing the importance of offering players choices between open-world riskier gameplay with higher rewards and safer, instanced missions with lower risk.
The video concludes by inviting viewers to share their thoughts on which current gameplay areas would benefit from instancing and what types of dungeon or mission content they would like to see in Star Citizen. It acknowledges the challenge CIG faces in balancing PvE and PvP content to satisfy different player preferences but expresses optimism about the increasing variety and depth of gameplay options.
