During X019 in London,
Xbox
Game Studios and Obsidian
Entertainment today announced Grounded,
a new first-person, co-op survival game coming Spring 2020 to Xbox One
digitally through Xbox Game Preview and with Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft Store,
and on Steam. Grounded will be the first Xbox Game Preview title
available with Xbox Game Pass.
In Grounded, players are shrunken to the size of an ant and tasked with surviving in the unique micro-world of a suburban backyard. Players must gather, craft and build bases with everyday objects found within the yard, searching for life-saving resources and living alongside giant, peaceful insects while fighting to survive massive hostile inhabitants.
Grounded provides a mix of environmental and narrative
driven story telling. Set in a versatile, handcrafted sandbox structure it
allows players to create their own experience from the ground up. Tasks that may seem approachable
when human-sized become a challenge in this dangerous backyard landscape. This
familiar yet fantastical world can be navigated solo or in four-person
co-operative multiplayer, where players work together to complete missions or
explore the intricately detailed world.
Created by a
small development team, one of many working on new projects in the studio,
Grounded is a true passion project. This title has given the team the
creative outlet to bring their years of developing highly regarded games to
bear on the survival genre. RPGs like The Outer Worlds will always
be in Obsidian’s DNA, but from time to time we want to stretch our creative
muscles and try things that might be a little different
Microsoft has been a fantastic partner for Grounded which
was in development long before the acquisition last year. We’re fortunate to be
given the freedom to continue flexing our creative muscles and develop the
games we want to make.
Curious for more Grounded details? Check out the all-new trailer
and stay tuned to Xbox Wire for the next update coming soon!
