Indie developer Miju Games has announced console ports for The Planet Crafter, their wildly popular sci-fi sandbox survival game.
The Planet Crafter is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PS5 next month on July 21st. The game first release for PC (Steam) in early access in 2022 and hit full release in 2024.
“Today, now with a team of seven, and two million terraformers later, we’re landing on consoles. What an amazing adventure, all thanks to our amazing community!”, said Games co-founders, Amélie and Brice in a press release.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:
Embark on a chill experience alone or with up to 8 friends in online co-op. Your mission is to survive on a hostile planet and turn a barren land into a lush paradise. Terraforming is the only way!
You are sent on a hostile planet with one mission: Make it habitable for Humans. You’ll have to survive, collect resources, build your base, produce machines to heat the planet, create an oxygen-rich atmosphere and eventually geo-engineer an entire planet!
Gather minerals and resources to survive. Craft all the tools you need to fulfil your mission. Explore old shipwrecks and ruins and discover a planet full of mysteries!
You’ll need a base and all sorts of machines to make yourself at home, and be able to bring life to this planet! Progress through building tiers to upgrade and expand your base and explore the planet further.
See life forms appear on the planet as you terraform it by increasing heat, oxygen and pressure. Witness the first signs of life with moss and insects and unleash the planet’s full potential with thick forests and animals.
From chill to hardcore, choose the difficulty level that suits you. Play with starting pre-sets to create new games and experience endless possibilities.
