For next year, a new survival game is planned to be released on Steam, which fans of Helldivers 2 should also keep an eye on. You can find all important information about the game here.
Which game is this about? Project Frontier is a new survival game from the development studio OCP. This game was initiated by the two brothers Mike and Nick Atamas. A release is planned for 2025.
However, a playtest is supposed to take place beforehand, for which you can request access via Steam. When this is supposed to start is not known at this time.
In a first video, the brothers talk about their project and what to expect as players. They also show some first pre-alpha footage:
What can you expect? The two developers describe their game as a mix of Valheim and Helldivers 2. The comparison to the shooter is mainly drawn due to the time-limited missions.
In Project Frontier, besides building a base, you will embark on various missions with two other team members. However, these will need to be completed within a given time, whether you succeed or not. Therefore, you could also fail at any time during your missions, which will likely make teamwork incredibly important.
The official description on Steam also states that each mission should be unique and due to various treasures and dangers, betrayal towards your teammates could also be likely.
During your missions, you should be able to encounter other teams. Whether you take the peaceful path of cooperation during such an encounter or seek confrontation will be entirely up to you.
A Survival Game for Those Who Don’t Just Want to Gather
In the survival aspects of the game, you can expect a typical start in a procedurally generated world. You begin with the typical basic equipment, gather, and craft. However, the Atamas brothers aim to change and accelerate everything a bit.
For example, once you have chopped down a certain number of trees, you can soon build a sawmill and no longer have to deal with tedious wood gathering. NPCs will then take over this work for you. This automated resource production will then provide you with the materials to expand your base or to craft equipment and weapons.
Also interesting is a tool called CreatorLab. With this, Project Frontier is supposed to be completely modifiable. Everything from creating new and custom items or artifacts to self-created quests and game modes should be possible here. By the way, on Xbox, you can now use “Premium Mods” in a game: ARK: Survival Ascended celebrates itself for writing gaming history – Meanwhile, Bethesda has been years ahead of them
