Beautiful space/survival/sandbox game Astroneer is finally hitting early access next week, after showing off its pretty low poly environments and impressively granular terrain destruction for ages. It's got four-player co-op, it lets you reshape procedurally generated planets with a nifty planet-reshaping tool, and when you're bored of ruining one celestial body, you can build a spaceship and fly to another one, and do the same. Here's a new trailer that will make you want it:
Look at all those colours! Lovely stuff. As the announcement post notes, you'll be able to acquire the early access title on, er, Steam Early Access, but also the Windows Store and Xbox One. And when will you be able to acquire it? Why, Friday December 16, giving you the option escape to deepest space over the festive period.
