It’ll soon be time to put on your space suit and awaken your inner scientist in Honeycomb: The World Beyond.
Frozen Way and Snail Games have provided a deep dive into Honeycomb: The World Beyond, their upcoming sci-fi survival adventure.
Revealed with a new gameplay trailer complete with developer commentary, the game is set to launch on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC in 2025.
This ambitious title tasks players with exploring a mysterious alien planet, not as a conqueror, but as a bioengineer on a mission to save the world.
A Pioneer’s Journey on Sota7
Honeycomb: The World Beyond puts you in the boots of a pioneer on the uninhabited, mysterious planet of Sota7. Carrying the weight of a mission that could save Earth’s ecosystem, you must explore a world that is both awe-inspiringly beautiful and slightly hostile.
Your journey will take you across a diverse range of biomes, from calm forests and vibrant jungles to vast fields at the foot of a mysterious volcano. It’s a trek designed to leave a lasting impression as you uncover the planet’s many secrets.
Awaken Your Inner Bioengineer
The core of what makes Honeycomb: The World Beyond so unique is its deep focus on bioengineering. Your job is not just to observe, but to create. As a bioengineer, you will treat the life forms of Sota7 with respect, carefully extracting samples and procuring resources to understand the intricate patterns of this alien ecosystem.
This knowledge is then applied in your laboratory. Using innovative in-game mechanics like grafting and allogamy (cross-pollination), you will be able to crossbreed various plants and animals. By creating new hybrid life forms that can thrive on Sota7, you may just discover the key to solving the ecological problems plaguing Earth.
Your Sanctuary in an Alien World
A true explorer needs a safe haven, and in Honeycomb, you will build your own. A key part of the gameplay is planning and constructing your perfect modular base. Inspired by the natural shapes of Art Nouveau, your base is not just a shelter, but also your laboratory and sanctuary.
The modular design allows you to expand your base as your needs change, adding extra rooms or corridors to suit your scientific pursuits. The heart of your base is the lab, where you will use varied devices to experiment with collected samples and nurture new plant life.
Cultivating these plants will not only make your base feel more alive but will also yield a satisfying harvest, increasing your chances of survival in this foreign world. For those less keen on construction, a “planning mode” is available to help do the job for you.
Key Features of a World of Discovery
- Explore the Unknown: Discover diverse biomes on Sota7, each with unique plants and animals.
- Become a Bioengineer: Experiment with fauna and flora to unlock their potential through mechanics like grafting and allogamy.
