Developed by Chucklefish for PC, Mac and Xbox One, Starbound is a procedurally-generated action adventure game similar to Terraria which begins with you fleeing your home world in a space shuttle, just as it is destroyed by an unknown enemy. With nothing to guide it, the escape pod shoots into space without direction, becoming hopelessly lost in a sea of stars. As luck would have it, the space shuttle makes contact with an abandoned space station and an adventure begins that will take you hurtling across the universe.
Starbound is coming out of Early Access on 22 July, 2016. The developers have promised an Xbox Game Preview version so I’m guessing it might hit the console around then. Either ways, it’s great to see that the game is coming along nicely and can become a proper release towards the end of this month.
