14 DAY TRIAL // We've been religiously following everything related to Ostranauts since the game was revealed many months ago. We've also been a bit sad that we didn't get to play it early this year, but life during COVID-19 is very complicated and the game industry has had to deal with distancing since more than six months ago.
As such, Ostranauts' Early Access release has been delayed for the second half of the year. In fact, we won't have to wait too long since indie publisher Modern Wolf and NEO Scavenger developer Blue Bottle Games have just announced that Ostranauts will be available in Early Access on Steam from September 10.
Equally exciting is the fact that the announcement comes with a new teaser trailer featuring Dominique Tipper, star of popular science fiction series The Expanse. Moreover, you can wishlist the Ostranauts on Steam right now to learn when the game is available for purchase.
In case you haven't heard about Ostranauts, this is the upcoming game from the studio that gave us NEO Scavenger, a survival RPG very well received by players and media alike. Ostraunauts is a noir spaceship-life sim in which players start as a spaceship captain, and have to form a crew before attempting to survive in the savage world of a ravaged solar system.
Players can build their own designed spaceships, manage their crew’s physical and emotional needs, as well as keep their ship from falling apart. Early Access for Ostranauts will start by allowing players to begin their adventure as a spaceship captain - fixing up their ship and getting it spaceworthy while socializing with NPCs and kick-starting their salvaging career.
In the first wave of Early Access, players will be able to fly to different worlds completing tasks and get more tools for characters and parts for the ship. They will also be given access to a variety of ship types, makes, and models.
Also, possible hostile encounters will be included in Early Access too, so players must stay on their toes every time they meet with other ships.
