[France / February 13th, 2023] - After a successful launch into Early Access on January 20th, indie studio Supercube has just revealed the latest roadmap for their space survival sim The Pioneers: Surviving Desolation. The roadmap highlights the team’s plan for the remainder of the year. In addition to regular bug fixes and balancing, players can expect the updates during Early Access to provide new ways to survive in the brutal Io atmosphere.
The Pioneers: Surviving Desolation puts players in the shoes of a crew stranded on Jupiter’s innermost moon Io. Players must gather resources, explore the land and keep their crew members alive in this incredibly harsh environment. This year’s planned updates will add a brand new vehicle to the game - The Bear. The Bear is a rover with large wheels to allow players easier transportation across the moon.
Each of the player’s crew members have unique abilities that are key to survival. The 2023 roadmap reveals that there are new character classes on the way - The Pilot, The Engineer and The Engineer II. Additionally, there are new station modules in the world to help players diversify what they choose to build. Players will be able to add a hangar, command center and emergency room to their bases by the end of the year.
Key Features
Explore - Io may be dangerous but it is also home to beautiful, desolate landscapes. Board a rover or a flying drone and venture out to gather precious resources in the various biomes of Io. Explore the land and collect important scientific data to accomplish your mission.
Build - Produce materials, build modules and engineering systems, craft wearable equipment and make food. Utilize the game’s advanced health system to monitor everyone carefully to keep them alive.
Survive - Volcanoes, seismic activity, sulfur winds and magnetic storms will put nearly constant pressure on your crew. Anticipate and adapt. Your crew’s life depends on it.
Manage - Start with 3 different characters chosen randomly from a pool of 15. Adapt to their strengths and weaknesses and use everything they have at their disposal to survive.
Simulate - Multiple winning conditions and endings. Play again and again, take advantage of upgrades, learn the best strategies for survival, and master all of Io’s unforgiving elements. The Pioneers: Surviving Desolation is now available on Steam and the team has some great plans for the coming months! Interested in joining the discussion or providing feedback?
