Stranded: Alien Dawn goes into early access in October
Stranded: Alien Dawnis a new sci-fi survival sim coming from the developers ofSurviving Mars, Haemimont Games, announced at today’s Gamescom Opening Night Live event. It’s set on a planet that’s a teensy bit greener than the red one near us, and heads into early access on Steam in October. Tap your instruments before checking out the sort-of-but-not-really live action reveal trailer below.
You’ll need to shepherd a group of spaceship crash survivors to help them keep ticking over on a brave new world. This isn’tSubnauticathough – you’ll have a whole colony to look after, effectively, rather than just one roving astronaut. Judging by the trailer, you’ll be surrounded by alien lifeforms and have only basic technology such as stone and wooden tools to work with, at least initially. That’s a big fall in living standards from easily accessible interstellar travel.
To keep your people alive and healthy you’ll have to manage their needs, and construct defences for the buildings you set up for them to live in. There’ll be weather and enviromental dangers to contend with, too. Your astronauts will gather, plant, hunt and harvest alien plants and animals, and you can always salvage materials from fallen spacecraft if you can find them.
Stranded: Alien Dawn is crashing into early access in October onSteam. Let’s hope it makes things get complex.
