'Astroneer' Megatech DLC Will Add Megastructures In November, Coincides With Free Update - Trailer

Astroneer places players in a 25th century gold rush where they explore the frontiers of outer space, risking their lives and resources in harsh environments for the chance of striking it rich.

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.

Devolver Digital and System Era Softworks are excited to reveal Astroneer: Megatech, a second paid DLC launching this November.

In the Astroneer: Megatech DLC, unlock the ability to build massive Megastructure projects set to test their Basebuilding skills to the max using new and existing technology. 

Each Megastructure will have its own unique identity and gameplay, unlocking new possibilities and rewards. Harness the power of Megatech to take Basebuilding and Automation to a whole new level. 

This DLC will be fully compatible with existing saves and builds off of any progress you’ve already made in game, so feel free to start fresh, or load up your existing saves and start building.

In addition, Astroneer: Megatech will be released alongside a free update for all. The free update will include new items and the ability to create a single Megastructure type that will allow automated interplanetary transportation. That means you will be able to move resources and technology between planets.

Stay tuned for more information, including the impending release date.

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.
