The upcoming sci-fi survival adventure is also announced to release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series S|X and will feature cross-play multiplayer on all platforms.

Australian developer Playcorp have now revealed their full Early Access Road Map which lists key features such as new combat gadgets, an Endless Survival Mode as well as some base-building, map improvements and new story plots to find in the world.
Beyond Contact is a survival game inspired by the art and style of pulp science-fiction comics, the moral dilemmas of contemporary science-fiction films, and the unforgiving gameplay of survival genre classics. The game features exploration and discovery, a robust system of research and crafting, intuitive base-building, farming, creature feeding, and much more. The game will have narrative-driven objectives to save the planet’s inhabitants, and enough fauna, flora, and extreme weather conditions to challenge even the toughest survival players a thousand times over.
