Get in your mech and cultivate alien plants, domesticate wildlife, endure the elements, and build your new home away from home.
Skövde, Sweden, 10 August 2021 — Revealed at the Twitchgaming Showcase: ID@Xbox today, Lightyear Frontier is an open-world farming exploration game with a mystery-driven narrative and a cosmic country soundtrack. Set to please farming and exploration/crafting fans alike, Lightyear Frontier is being developed and published by FRAME BREAK and Amplifier Game Invest, and is launching on PC in Early Access and Xbox platforms (launch window TBA).
Lightyear Frontier invites you (and your friends in up to 4-player co-op) to grow a cornucopia of cosmic resources and use your fresh harvest to improve your mech equipment. As you become a seasoned farmer with a souped-up mech, you’ll soon be able to grow rare plants and further explore previously inaccessible environments… and maybe uncover a mystery on this new planet.
Blending farming features with crafting, resource management, and base building, Lightyear Frontier’s alien planet is yours to transform and mould. While you’ll be safe on this new planet (thanks to the advice of PIP-3R, your trusty scanner satellite), your crops will need all the help they can get: from dealing with the ever-changing weather to keeping the local wildlife away, you will need to take a few precautions to safeguard your home on this new frontier.
FRAME BREAK will collaborate with the community during the development of Lightyear Frontier.
