No Man's Sky Fans? This New Game from Devolver Will Sell You a Dream

Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions Coming to Multiple Platforms - Devolver Digital & System Era Softworks Announce New Co-op Adventure

A new cooperative adventure, Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions, is set to launch on Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series. Developers Devolver Digital and System Era Softworks recently unveiled 17 minutes of gameplay for this colorful and promising title.

Starseeker: Fun-Fueled Multiplayer Space Adventures on Quirky Planets

Starseeker distinguishes itself from titles like No Man's Sky by prioritizing a collaborative multiplayer experience over solitary exploration. Players begin their journey aboard the Starseeker space station, home to the quirky scientists of Fronteer Force. Before each mission, crews gear up, exchange resources, and prepare for the unexpected. Preparation in Starseeker often prioritizes fun over practicality, as players may opt to bring items like beach balls or fireworks instead of essential equipment. This approach leads to unpredictable and humorous outcomes, contributing to a distinctive gameplay style. Up to four players can team up in Starseeker to undertake missions on diverse and hostile planets, encountering challenges such as storms, unusual creatures, and unforeseen mishaps. Each expedition is a race against time, defined by its unexpected challenges. Following a mission, players return to the space station to celebrate successes, trade discoveries, and unlock new landing zones. The game blends scientific exploration with a carnival-like atmosphere. Visually, Starseeker retains the soft forms and pastel aesthetic of Astroneer while significantly enhancing environmental detail, creating richer, more varied, and livelier worlds. Individual planets are designed with distinct personalities, recalling aspects of No Man's Sky but with a more artisanal and comedic flair.

Each world in Starseeker is meticulously handcrafted for its specific expedition, ensuring unique environments and surprises. This approach to world design distinguishes it from other space games that rely on procedural generation. Devolver Digital has announced a Q3 2026 release window for this global, or near-global, adventure. At launch, players can expect a complete experience, supported by regular updates and an expanding universe.
