Initially promised for October 2022, HypeTrain Digital’s Voidtrain is launching on May 9th for Steam Early Access on PC. It’s currently available in early access on the Epic Games Store, but there’s some new content inbound.
A new backstory, prologue and the plot’s first chapter are being added. It sees players venturing into the unknown Void and investigating a scientist’s disappearance. Cutscenes, lore, quests and so on will have diary notes and narration attached. You can also track everything in the scientist’s Journal.
Progression is also overhauled, with every game cycle having new mechanics and developments to the plot. Recipe costs are lower, Void resources are rebalanced, resource stacks doubled, and you can now move objects in the train for free. The cute Rofleemo are also being upgraded to NPCs and can roam your train, attending to tasks and auto-collecting resources.
Head here for more details. Voidtrain will remain in early access until 2024, but plans can always change. Stay tuned in the meantime for more updates.
