Not much to go on, but glad to see something about it!

Probably the most exciting part of the trailer is that it all but confirms multiplayer which was probably the biggest missing element of the first game.

Yeah I went through a small emotional rollercoaster! it felt so alone when he was running out of oxygen, then we were safe now that we had a friend.

but then we're both still way in the deep

I hope they use the Grounded formula for multiplayer and bases, that was super well integrated!

I never played grounded, could you elaborate?

[-] Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Sure - the story is built around 4 characters - 4 teens, basically miniaturized to an ant's size, must navigate a backyard filled with dangers, craft tools, and find a way to return to normal size.

The multiplayer element is integrated by allowing up to four players to team up and work together in real-time to explore, fight enemies, and complete story objectives, fostering cooperation in survival and discovery.

When you connect to the game you select one of the 4 teens as your avatar - only esthetics and voice impact, no material change - and the game is well balanced so it's feasible whether you're 1, 2, 3 or 4 players joining...

That was the best thing to have missing. The isolation made the game.

  • edit: rockpapershotgun had more info. There's going to be solitary play mode/story, but also an up to 4 player co-op.

The description and comments on the video 100% confirm multiplayer. Honestly I'd be excited for the game either way, but I have a lot of fun playing crafting/survival games with friends so it's appreciated.
