On this adventure, a player’s most useful tool is their ability to shape their world, altering the terrain and extracting valuable resources from planets, asteroids, and moons. Resources can be traded on the open market or crafted into new tools, vehicles, and modules to create everything from massive industrial bases to pop-up tents for overnight expeditions.

Astroneer is a game about exploration and creativity. The worlds in Astroneer are diverse, each combining careful artistry and procedural generation to create unique and beautiful experiences. Yet, each world can be reshaped by your tools. The entire volume of the world can be dug, sculpted, or added to at your whim. Every cubic inch of every world is accessible to you. Excavate vast underground tunnels or create megaliths on the surface; the world is your Play-Doh.

Astroneer is a game about cooperation and will supports online co-op for up to four players,

Astroneer is being assembled as a labor of love by a small team of veteran developers who have garnered experience at the likes of 343 Industries, Disney, Valve, and Ubisoft. For us, this game is a culmination of our deep passion and affection for the beauty of our universe. While we dream of space travel and colonization, it will be future generations who will finally realize that desire. We are creating Astroneer as a means to experience a piece of that journey ourselves and to inspire in others the wonderment of voyaging to the stars.

The sudden development of technology for rapid space travel enables fast and inexpensive journeys to the stars. Exo Dynamics, the dominant conglomerate in the new field, has opened flights to daring citizens of Earth. Like the Yukon gold rush of old, waves of adventurers sign up to launch themselves into a new frontier, risking everything to seek their fortune in the far reaches of the galaxy. These are the Astroneers.

As an Astroneer, you must find a way to dig out a life on one of a multitude of harsh new worlds. Blast through the terrain to uncover precious artifacts and materials you can use to fuel your quest to become a wealthy baron in the stars. Along the way, discover oddities, raise questions, and uncover mysteries.

Perhaps not all is as it seems.

Astroneer will be available on Steam, Xbox One and Windows 10 Game Preview, December 2016.

We are committed to making Astroneer the best possible experience for all players. Because of this we’ll be spending the next months polishing all the features, adding new content, and optimizing the game.

Our goal was to have Astroneer out during the fall season (originally ‘early’ fall) but by pushing back the date just a bit we will improve the game that much more. You only get one chance to play Astroneer for the first time, so we want to make sure that it’s a good one! And while we’re not ready to give a specific date in December just yet, fall ends on December 20th so it’s safe to expect it out before then in the month of December 2016.
