'Lightyear Frontier' Confirms March 2024 Early Access Launch, Reveals Content Roadmap - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Dec. 6, 2023 @ 10:52 a.m. PST

Lightyear Frontier is an open-world farming exploration game with crafting, resource management and base building, wrapped in a mystery-driven narrative with a cosmic country soundtrack.

Lightyear Frontier invites you to grow a cornucopia of cosmic resources and use your fresh harvest to improve your mech equipment. As you become a seasoned farmer with a souped-up mech, you’ll soon be able to grow rare plants and further explore previously inaccessible environments… and maybe uncover a mystery on this new planet. 

Blending farming features with crafting, resource management, and base building, Lightyear Frontier’s alien planet is yours to transform and mould. While you’ll be safe on this new planet (thanks to the advice of PIP-3R, your trusty scanner satellite), your crops will need all the help they can get: from dealing with the ever-changing weather to keeping the local wildlife away, you will need to take a few precautions to safeguard your home on this new frontier.

Play 1-4 players in online co-op, discover and grow alien plants, domesticate wildlife, endure the elements and build your new home away from home.

Make use of the environment to craft and build your farm.  Find and grow new resources on your own.  Cultivate your crops with farming mechanics like you’ve never seen before. Use your harvest to improve your mech and venture further into the planet’s exotic ecosystem.


FRAME BREAK and Amplifier Game Invest unveiled that Lightyear Frontier will release in March 2024.

Alongside the release month reveal comes the initial content roadmap, teasing some of the content players can look forward to post-launch. As well as quality of life updates, the team will be working hard to expand the game world as well as the map and continue to reveal the mystery of the Frontier. Post-launch content is also planned to introduce more meaningful interactions with the in-game neighbours and animals of the Frontier, as well as adding more flora and fauna to the world.

Key Features:

  • Venture into the unknown, discover ancient ruins, and uncover the secrets of your planet to decipher a message that has waited for eons to be heard.
  • Customize and improve your very own tractor mech with an assortment of unique mech parts to overcome the planet’s obstacles and maintain your exofarm.
  • Play solo or with up to 3 friends with online crossplay, making it easy to build your exofarm together or simply give a tour of your planet.
  • Discover and cultivate a wide range of exotic plants to grow your own resources and create a sustainable lifestyle.
  • Domesticate different species of alien wildlife with a complete breeding and genetics system.
  • You are free to build anywhere and customize your farm to your liking. A plethora of constructs and cosmetic tools allow you to build the exofarm of your dreams. Don’t forget to take a break between exploration and farmwork.
  • Endure a multitude of weather conditions and other environmental hazards through four distinct seasons and take the necessary precautions to save your harvest. 
  • Join an interstellar neighborhood, partner up with your local scanner satellite and befriend your off-planet neighbors.
  • Follow a mystery-driven narrative and explore ruins left behind by unknown entities.
  • Relax to a chill cosmic country soundtrack with just the right mix of space and country vibes to immerse yourself in the exploration of the Lightyear Frontier.
