Starbound is a very promising and exciting looking spiritual successor to Terraria, the 2D metroidvania game inspired by sandbox games like Minecraft.

Even though the game is already confirmed for PS4, Vita and PC (via Steam), it still hasn’t come out, as the developers are making sure it’s as polished as can be.

Now, we have word of when the beta will finally be available for fans to play, courtesy of a member from the development team:

In a reddit post, Tiyuri also confirmed that the beta isn’t totally polished, and as such will have some bugginess. He promised that the beta can be updated daily if need be, which is something he described as a “wild ride” for all the beta testers.
