News: A new base building game is on the way with automation mechanics and it will be available on all platforms.

Publisher HypeTrain Digital and developer Behemutt have revealed that their upcoming base building game Nova Lands will be released on June 22, 2023. It was originally scheduled to go through the Steam Early Access program however the team has decided to skip that entirely. It will now launch on PC (Steam, GOG, and Epic), Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. It should also be playable on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 via backward compatibility.

Nova Lands is a base building, exploration, and survival game with automation mechanics. You have to explore, engage in combat, and automate your industry. The planet you’re on is full of mysteries, creatures, people, and things to do. Your task is to extract resources needed for the Earth using your trusty extraction tool. Once you start gathering resources, you can construct factories that will provide you with new materials. The more possibilities you unlock, the more efficient your base will become.

But you're not just a Survivor in Nova Lands; you're also an Explorer. To help you with simple tasks while you explore other islands, the developers have designed a team of self-sufficient bots that can work autonomously. These bots can form production chains, defend you and other bots from aggressive creatures, and turn your base into a fortress.

You will get to venture to new islands, each with its own biomes, creatures, materials, landmarks, and secrets. Be cautious, as every cave, bush, and grain of sand may hold something interesting and mysterious. Along the way, you'll encounter other NPCs who can offer upgrades or helpful items for trade.

Once you start your planetary industry, you'll be able to sell extracted resources to other planets and earn “kredits”. These kredits can be used to purchase new upgrades and content, so get ready to explore and trade.

You can then take the journey to the next level by producing a shuttle that will allow you to travel to the Space Station – a dedicated hub where you can meet new NPCs, purchase new skins for the character, buy blueprints to develop new technologies on your planet, and even purchase your own house.
