System Era Softworks finally reveals the release date for space game "Astroneer," which will debut on Steam Early Access on December 16. The space-inspired game will be playable for Xbox One sometime soon, but the testing ground's for the PC version. Players can team up with fellow mates to excavate the ground beneath like a galactic Minecraft.
Those disappointed by "No Man's Sky's" absence of co-op play will likely be charmed by the similarly procedurally-generated space exploration title "Astroneer" with 4-player online drop-in/drop-out co-op. Explore and reshape distant worlds as "Astroneer" is set in the period of a 25th-century gold rush where players must explore the frontiers of outer space.
Reshape Terrain As Though It Were Made Of Play-Doh
The main draw in "Astroneer" is messing up worlds "Red Faction-style." On this adventure, a player's most useful tool is the capability to form a world, altering the terrain and mining valuable resources from planets and moons. Resources can be traded or crafted into new tools, vehicles and modules to create everything from massive industrial bases to mobile rover bases, according to Steam.
Players can explore and exploit distant worlds, can be entirely deformed and traversed, build a spaceship, and snap together components and objects to create custom vehicles and modules. "Astroneer" is a game of aerospace industry and interplanetary exploration and must hunt down the resources required to build vehicles and conduct research needed first for survival, then for prosperity, writes Engadget.
System Requirements To Strike It Rich With "Astroneer"
To make space fortune with "Astroneer", players have to have minimum Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10; an X64 Dual Core CPU with 1 GB Ram and Discreet GPU with 1 GB RAM. Of course, the willingness to risk their lives and resources in cruel environments for the chance of hitting it big is also a must. The developer noted that "Astroneer" will cost $19.99 on all platforms.
