Obsidian's surprising reveal from last year was that the studio known principally for RPGs is going to release a survival game: its reveal announcement last November

According to the listing, this is what's going to be in Grounded at Early Access start:

  • Roughly 20% of the full storyline
  • 3 major biomes – the grasslands, the hedge, and the haze
  • Crafting
  • Base building
  • Single and online co-op  play
  • First two tiers of weapons and armor
  • At least ten insects
  • Arachnophobia mode

How Obsidian ended up making a survival game even though it’s a studio known for RPGs is an interesting story in and of itself. (No, it’s not a licensed Honey I Shrunk The Kids game, we asked.) Grounded will be released into Early Access this year and hopes for a full release sometime in 2021. You can find it on the Grounded Steam page.
