Boundless, the freeform MMO from former Lionhead and EA devs, leaves Early Access

Voxel-based MMO Boundless, formerly known as Oort Online, has finished its four-year stint in Early Access.

It's a bit like Minecraft, but more colourful, and more alien. You'll be gathering resources, building, and fighting enemies. You can band together with allies to build and defend towns, as well as construct portals that open up other worlds that offer new biomes to explore.

The idea is that you'll eventually find a role that you like, whether that be a hunter, raider, nomad, master builder—anything you can think of, really.

Developer Wonderstruck—made up of former EA, Lionhead and Hello Games talent—said that the release was "very much a beginning", and that it has "very cool plans ahead".

You can pick up Boundless on Steam for $39.99/£32.99.
