Space Engineers Announced Exclusively for Xbox One
PRAGUE (August 12, in the year of our Lord 2014)
– Independent developer Keen Software House has
announced that their space-based sandbox game, Space Engineers,
which has become a viral hit on PC via Steam Early Access, will
be released for Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment
system from Microsoft, via the ID@Xbox self-publishing program.
The game will be exclusive on Xbox One for twelve months and
will retain its trademark open-ended creative and survival
gameplay.
Space Engineers offers a robust platform for creative gamers to
build and maintain space stations and ships in a single or
multi-player environment. Offering both Survival and Creative
modes, as well as resource management, multiplayer, and even
combat, the limits of what can be built and played are only
bound by the player’s own creativity.
“We are really excited to introduce Space Engineers to an all
new audience on Xbox One and provide gamers from around the
world the same open-ended creative environment that has enamored
PC gamers,” said Marek Rosa, CEO and Founder, Keen Software
House. “With the power of Xbox One, we will be able to offer all
of our features with amazing multiplayer options. We expect the
Xbox community to unleash amazing creations and astounding
worlds that we can’t even imagine.”
ABOUT SPACE ENGINEERS
Space Engineers is a sandbox game about engineering,
construction and maintenance of space works. Players are placed
in an asteroid field to build and pilot space ships and space
stations and create the outer space world of their dreams.
Players can gather resources from neighboring asteroids, build
complex machineries and weaponry, or construct massive space
vessels. Featuring both single- and multi-player modes, as well
as both Creative and Survival modes, there is nearly no end to
what can be built, what can be played, and what can be explored.
Space Engineers utilizes Keen Software House’s proprietary VRAGE
2.0 engine, which offers a realistic volumetric-based physics
environment. All objects can be assembled, disassembled, damaged
and destroyed.
