Astroneer Might Be What No Man’s Sky Promised To Be

System Era Softworks is bringing its own take on procedurally generated space exploration to the Xbox One and PC. Their game, Astroneer, is set to launch this December for Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview.

Here’s the quick rundown taken from the game’s official website:

“The sudden development of technology for rapid space travel enables fast and inexpensive journeys to the stars. Exo Dynamics, the dominant conglomerate in the new field, has opened flights to daring citizens of Earth. Like the Yukon gold rush of old, waves of adventurers sign up to launch themselves into a new frontier, risking everything to seek their fortune in the far reaches of the galaxy. These are the Astroneers.

As an Astroneer, you must find a way to dig out a life on one of a multitude of harsh new worlds. Blast through the terrain to uncover precious artifacts and materials you can use to fuel your quest to become a wealthy baron in the stars. Along the way, discover oddities, raise questions, and uncover mysteries. Perhaps not all is as it seems.”

The game will also support upto 4 player online co-op, as is emphasised in the trailer video. Let’s just hope that it doesn’t go the way of One Man’s Lie.
