As a freelance Prospector, you’ll explore, mine, build, craft and battle your way through natural hazards and very real enemies, to harness the power of your environment. Play solo or with friends, via 6 player online co-op (PvE), and get ready to adventure across alien frontiers, conquer natural hazards, build epic factory bases and battle AI enemies as you build your way toward planetary mastery.

Surpassing every limitation of the original game, TerraTech Worlds invites players to explore dangerous but beautiful biomes, gather valuable resources, and create unique bases and vehicles to fend off roaming bandits. With fully deformable terrain, water physics, dynamic weather, day and night cycles, factory automation gameplay, and vastly expanded customisation, TerraTech Worlds distils ten years of studio experience into a brand new title.

Built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5 and optimized for large scale simulation, the sandbox survival-builder is a multiplayer experience that supports up to 6 players via online co-op.

After a successful Next Fest, TerraTech Worlds will enter Steam Early Access on March 22, 2024, and will remain so for about 18 months.

"We are so excited to finally get TerraTech Worlds into the hands of Early Access players. Community involvement is essential to our development process, so this is where the fun really starts,” says studio founder, Russell Clarke. “We are already planning upcoming milestones, and a huge component of this will be responding to feedback and steering based on community activity - so we can't wait to see what players will make and do in this first release"

“The game is still very much in development. This is not the 'feature complete Beta with some content switched off' style of Early Access release that has become increasingly common. We are still working stuff out. This is how we work, and we've always done our best work this way - ask TerraTech players what they think about that! Right now, there are things that are missing and things that are unfinished. We want to hear what you think about them while there's still time to incorporate feedback. We WILL listen, and we WILL make changes. But make no mistake, this is still a fun game, not a broken bug-fest, and that's how we will keep it throughout this process. The core gameplay is in place, you can play co-op, there will be dedicated server support, and there are already dozens if not hundreds of hours of play in there to enjoy.”

“In a nutshell, at 1.0 the core of the game will feel fully established and polished. Key features and content that we have announced will be in place and will not feel like work in progress. This includes features carried forward or reinterpreted from TerraTech (like airborne travel and creative mode), new signature features in TerraTech Worlds (like terrain modification, water travel, base building and automation, with blueprints), and core content such as world events, boss battles, and the narrative and world-building framework behind them. And yes, there will be multiple worlds in TerraTech Worlds! Our public roadmap will list these key points; we will regularly update this and post in-depth discussion of upcoming areas of development, factoring in the additions and changes in direction that we'll inevitably make through the Early Access process.”

Its public roadmap spans more than 12 months and is set to deliver flight, fresh planets, boss battles and much more.
