Obsidian is branching off into new genres with its entry into the world of Grounded. The studio has announced an early access Grounded release date across platforms for July 28, 2020, and that launch will include a Steam version. Today's presentation on Inside Xbox also included a story breakdown and a trailer focused on the game's single-player content.
The short version of the Grounded pitch is that it's Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, except a survival game. You're a kid who's been shrunk to insect size, and must survive the horrors of your now-massive backyard, as you look for a way to get back to normal size. You can play solo, but the game also offers for co-op with up to four players.
I got an Subnautica - you'll have plenty of chances to explore your surroundings and build up your home at your own pace, but there'll always be a story hook propelling you to see something new.
of the Xbox Insider program will have a chance to play Grounded in the spring - you can sign up on the official site - otherwise, you'll need to wait for the proper early access release on July 28.
Check out Grounded in the trailer above.
