This looks fantastic. I'm looking forward to playing this.
Astroneer - is game about wonder, discovery, power, greed, mystery, and grand endeavor in a new age of expansion on the fringes of humanity. You will land alone, or with a small crew of friends, on a planet to call your own. Harsh but bountiful, infinite worlds will beckon you to explore, exploit, and ultimately to reshape to your desire. Excavate and deform the land, uncover precious resources, jury-rig equipment to suit your taste and needs, create industrial scale extraction and manufacturing facilities, and locate rare items and artifacts. Contribute to the survival of Earth-based humankind, and get rich along the way.
The worlds in Astroneer are diverse, from huge spherical planets with atmospheres and vast landscapes, to strangely shaped small asteroids floating in the rings of gas giants. Each world is procedurally generated, unique to your experience, and can be totally reshaped by your tools. Excavate vast underground tunnels or create megaliths on the surface; the world is your Play-Doh.
Astroneer was built with Unreal Engine 4 by a team called System Era, which boasts Ubisoft, 343 Industries, and Valve DNA. There's no official release date just yet, but they say they're aiming to release Astroneer on Steam's Early Access program in the first quarter of 2016. That build will be more of a sandbox, and a full release with a story and full multiplayer capabilities will follow.
