Prepare to build bigger than ever before in ASTRONEER Megatech, the second paid DLC expansion for the popular sci-fi survival game. Following the success of last year’s Glitchwalkers expansion, Devolver Digital and System Era Softworks are gearing up to send players into orbit with new content this November.

The game was initially released in Early Access on Steam in 2016 and celebrated a 1.0 launch three years later in 2019. In ASTRONEER, players interact with strange new worlds in a unique and tactile way, molding the environment itself as if it were clay in their hands. Plus, players build their base, master resource management, automate their production lines, and more as they unravel the mysteries of the universe, alone or with friends.
