Astroneer official Switch gameplay video

Astroneer was officially confirmed for Switch a few weeks ago. While we did receive a trailer at the time, System Era Softworks actually came out with another video focusing on gameplay that flew under the radar.

In case you missed it, here’s an overview for Astroneer with additional details:

Explore and reshape distant worlds! Astroneer is set during the 25th century Intergalactic Age of Discovery, where Astroneers explore the frontiers of outer space, risking their lives in harsh environments to unearth rare discoveries and unlock the mysteries of the universe.

On this adventure, players can work together to build custom bases above or below ground, create vehicles to explore a vast solar system, and use terrain to create anything they can imagine. A player’s creativity and ingenuity are the key to seeking out and thriving while on exciting planetary adventures! In Astroneer you can:

– Reshape the ground under your feet as though it were made of clay.
– Survive on and explore carefully crafted planets that can be entirely deformed and traversed.
– Snap together components and objects to build bases and vehicles.
– Play with friends in 4 player online drop-in/drop-out co-op.
– Discover and uncover the mysteries of the solar system

Deform & shape everything around you

In Astroneer, players use their deform tool to dig, collect, shape and build anything they wish. Use this ability to dig to the center of the planet, build a ramp into the sky, or make megaliths just by using terrain!
