Don't call Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions a sequel - the original still has "years" of updates ahead

I mean, telephone it what you like, you'll conscionable beryllium wrong

Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions isn't Astroneer 2, truthful don't interest if you were arsenic fond of the spacey endurance crippled arsenic Alec Meer (RPS successful Peace) was backmost successful 2019. "Slowly asphyxiating to decease successful an unforgiving alien wasteland has ne'er been truthful joyful", wrote he, reminding maine of the implicit air-fried chickenhearted nugget I got stuck successful my pharynx past week. The archetypal Astroneer volition support receiving updates for "years" to come, accidental developers System Era Softworks. As for Starseeker, it's aiming to beryllium a antithetic kettle of abstraction entirely.

It's doing that done the powerfulness of mates, chiefly. Not conscionable a fewer mates, but many. Mates squared. "Exploring heavy abstraction connected the ESS Starseeker, players volition request to enactment unneurotic with the full unit of the abstraction station," accidental System Era, "to implicit planet-wide objectives crossed a multitude of prima systems utilizing cutting borderline technology". Alec called the original's code much "Vengaboys than 65daysofstatic" (them what did euphony for No Man's Sky), and it decidedly each seems acold much bubbly and chipper than your plot assortment forage-for-dysentry-berries-or-die-in-poverty 'em up. Labour's caller 15 constituent berries-or-poverty program being what it is, I'm thankful for the escapism.

A "focus connected discovery, cooperative expeditions, and camaraderie" is the vibe here. "Players volition person an precocious acceptable of tools astatine their disposal to tackle expeditions portion they look disconnected with the chartless perils of space- - fascinating creatures, hazardous flora, and mysterious forces that await them".

This'll each beryllium done from your abstraction station, the titular ESS Starseeker - "an ever-evolving abstraction presumption wherever players get unneurotic to program expeditions, upgrade their capabilities, and adjacent bent retired with different players".

The devs committedness livestreams, vlogs, a constricted beta, and a much in-depth gameplay trailer each implicit the coming months. You tin find Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions connected Steam here, and it's owed for merchandise 2026. I'm really not being glib erstwhile I accidental I anticipation there's a mode to speech to these monsters, they look ace.
