System Era Softworks just announced the first ever paid expansion for Astroneer. Called Glitchwalkers, this expansion will arrive later this year on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. After five years of exploring space, Astroneer is finally adding in a new planet, called Aeoluz, for you to explore.
The survival sandbox experience goes to "new extremes" on this new planet. First off, the new planet is the largest planet in all of Astroneer. It includes new biomes, technology, gameplay features, and "the game's first true villain."
Look for Glitchwalkers to drop later in 2024.
Glitchwalkers will transport players to Aeoluz, an enormous new planet born in a glitched solar system where they’ll be tasked with counter hacking Lyn and breaking firewalls to return the ATP to normal.
Aeoluz plays host to a number of new surface and cave biomes for players to explore, while a new tech tree and modules offer up new ways to progress and unlock both new and old technology.
Glitchwalkers will expand Astroneer’s universe while maintaining all of the crafting, building and exploration that existing Astroneers know and love. For those players unprepared to leap into the unknown, there will also be a free companion update to the base game that introduces new gameplay, quality of life improvements, and bug fixes.
