Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to find yourself on an uninhabited, mysterious planet as a pioneer? Carry the weight of a mission that could save the world on your shoulders? Or perhaps you’ve always been fascinated by bioengineering and where its development might take mankind in the future? Honeycomb: The World Beyond sets out to offer its players a unique opportunity to experience all of that and more! Prepare for a journey of scientific exploration and survival on a planet that can be both incredibly friendly, awe-inspiring, and slightly hostile.

Welcome to operation Honeycomb. EON Corp appreciates your contribution to Earth’s survival and would like to kindly remind you that all data you procure should remain strictly confidential. Harness your bioengineering knowledge and make use of the extensive training provided by EON to navigate a world brimming with wonders and mysteries.

Explore the world of Sota7 and uncover its secrets. Prepare yourself to be moved by its diversity. From calm forests and vibrant jungles to vast fields spreading at the foot of a mysterious volcano, prepare for a trek that will leave a lasting impression. Carve out a home for yourself and use that safe space to further your research. Play your part in saving the Earth’s ecosystem thanks to innovative bioengineering mechanics and see the vibrant world of an alien planet with your own eyes.

Gathering information about an ecosystem is a crucial part of a bioengineer’s work. You need to treat the life forms of Sota7 with caution and respect – after all, they’re all a part of a larger whole. Extract samples and procure resources carefully in order to find familiar patterns and understand this world. This will help you to create new fascinating life forms that will be able to easily fit in with those that inhabit it already – and who knows, maybe one of these species holds the key to solving the problems that plague the ecosystem back on Earth? Use innovative in-game mechanics such as allogamy and grafting to create hybrids that could change the world. Unleash your inner scientist and become a master of the art of crossbreeding.

Snail Games USA and the development team at Frozen Way are proud to announce a publishing partnership for Honeycomb: The World Beyond.

This collaboration has already brought meaningful changes to the game, focusing on enhancing its narrative depth.

A true explorer needs a safe haven to rest and contemplate if they want to succeed. One of the player’s many important tasks in Honeycomb: The World Beyond is to plan and build your perfect modular base – not only for shelter but also a place of experiments, reporting progress, and rest. Discover our artists’ vision of the future, inspired by natural shapes found in Art Nouveau. The modular design of the base isn’t just a visual feature, but also a strategic advantage that allows you to adapt to your changing needs as an explorer and a scientist. Add an extra room or a corridor whenever you want, matching the direction of the expansion to the surrounding area.

Nestled within your base lies a sanctuary of profound significance: the laboratory. Here you can grow as a scientist and bioengineer. Gather resources and create varied laboratory devices to experiment with samples collected during the exploration of the world. The laboratory is not just a place for discovering new life forms – it’s also a space where you grow and nurture plants. Cultivate them to make previously empty rooms alive with fresh greenery, and yield a satisfying harvest – a reward that springs from your commitment, which increases your chances of survival.

Key Features:

• Explore the unknown – each corner of Sota7 offers diverse biomes with different plants and animals for you to discover. Explorer, let curiosity guide your steps! Encounter the kaleidoscope of life forms, learn about them, and apply that knowledge to further research.
• Awaken your inner bioengineer – in Honeycomb: The World Beyond you are both observer and creator. Find and experiment with new fauna and flora species to unlock their potential.
• Witness the synergy of nature and science  – crossbreed various plants or animals using bioengineering mechanics such as grafting and allogamy.
• Build your perfect base –  to survive and conduct experiments, you need to build your base first. Gather materials and set up your own sanctuary – an oasis in a foreign world.  If you’re not a keen builder, utilize the planning mode, which will do the job for you!
• Arrange the laboratory – the heart of your base is a lab, where you can experiment with collected samples.
• Find the hidden riches – remember that Sota7 is a unique yet challenging place. You should always be on the lookout for better resources.
• Survive at any cost – face the upcoming challenges with courage and try to survive in the unfamiliar world of Sota7.

Honeycomb: The World Beyond is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) in 2025.
