Grounded will test your survival skills like nothing else

Not content with releasing a massive RPG with The Outer Worlds, but Obsidian have also been crafting a new game, meet Grounded, a first person, co-op survival game, coming in 2020.

In Grounded, players are shrunken to the size of an ant and tasked with surviving in the unique micro-world of a suburban backyard. Players must gather, craft and build bases with everyday objects found within the yard, searching for life-saving resources and living alongside giant, peaceful insects while fighting to survive massive hostile inhabitants.

Grounded provides a mix of environmental and narrative driven story telling. Set in a versatile, handcrafted sandbox structure it allows players to create their own experience from the ground up. Tasks that may seem approachable when human-sized become a challenge in this dangerous backyard landscape. This familiar yet fantastical world can be navigated solo or in four-person co-operative multiplayer, where players work together to complete missions or explore the intricately detailed world.

The game will be playable ahead of release through the Xbox Insider Program, more details will be released closer to its launch there.
