In Heavenly Bodies, you’re a brave cosmonaut, and it’s your sole duty to maintain Earth’s latest and proudest feat of space engineering.

Wrangle the hands and arms of space cosmonauts and push, pull and twist your way through a precarious range of physically-simulated stellar scenarios where, without gravity, nothing is still, nothing is secure, and nothing is simple.

On a good day, the beauty of weightlessness will shine through. You'll use your sharp mind and dexterous limbs to assemble space telescopes, maintain delicate solar arrays and research cosmic botany. On worse days you'll be missing gravity's embrace, when: the power is out, you're in the firing line of supersonic space debris and... there's a breadstick stuck in the emergency backup generator.

Everyone who’s been tuning in so far knows that Heavenly Bodies is a game about cosmonauts, the body, and the absence of gravity. But it still begs the age-old question: What do you do? Today, we have a new gameplay filled trailer which has come to finally provide some answers! Let’s take a look.

We’ve taken a few minutes of gameplay from two of our favorite scenarios – Data, and Minerals. Along with the other 5 missions in Heavenly Bodies, each is a gripping spatial puzzle tasking you to perform great feats of science and engineering in one of the most taxing physical conditions known to human-kind: weightlessness.

Using two good arms and a cool head, you’ll use the DualSense wireless controller to control each individual limb of a weightless, physically simulated cosmonaut. These simple, yet tricky controls enable you to move around and interact with a variety of space-station modules that require delicate assembly and maintenance. Each of these scenarios can be played either solo or with a friend via local co-op.

In Data, you’ll be tasked to assemble a grand communications tower to establish a link between home and the cosmos. You’ll use your gripping hands to link the giant segments together, and a satellite dish calibration system to tune the tower to optimal frequencies.

In Minerals, you’ll take the helm of a rugged mining spacecraft designed to extract non-terrestrial soils from a nearby asteroid belt. Each extraction will require different techniques, and will test your ability to keep a steady head in a space that doesn’t sit still.

To some, these scenarios may sound straight-forward; we can guarantee that the heart and mind will be tested. For in a world without gravity, nothing is still, nothing is secure, and nothing is simple.

In Heavenly Bodies, everything is designed so it can be physically simulated. Ropes, buttons, machines, and your very own body react to forces in a way that, without gravity, will challenge you to rethink the way you approach seemingly trivial tasks.

For those that were paying careful attention, yes, you can play with a partner via local co-op! Call on a friend and discover the new, creative and elaborate ways to finish the task at hand. Cooperation might not always be frictionless though, so pick your crew well.

Heavenly Bodies is coming to PS4, PS5 and PC (Steam) in 2021.
