Developer Wonderstruck announced today the new, "super ambitious" PS4 and PC cross-platform game Boundless. As the name suggests, it's a huge, open-world sandbox universe where players can build Portals and step into another world in the Boundless universe.
When players find a world that suits them, they can make it their official home and claim some land using a Beacon. Once you do that, the land is yours and yours alone to change. That is, until you invite some friends to become neightbors, form a guild, share land and resources, build amazing things, and go on adventures to become the most loved or feared group in the universe. The opportunities are… boundless.
Boundless does offer challenges in the form of ancient Titans, huge sentient fortresses that stalk the landscape searching for anything they perceive to be a threat. To defeat these apex predators, you're going to need to call on the citizens of your adopted world.
Boundless is also built as a "phsyical sandbox," where you can grapple up to inaccessible mountain ledges and slide down ice paths to deep caves. Harvesting a Titan's mechanical guts and repurposing them will help you craft devices to help you in your exploration, like floating airships.
Because Boundless is such an expansive game, Wonderstruck put together a list of some of the things you can do in the game:
- Hunt for creatures in dangerous areas and sell the rare loot and materials you find to non-combative citizens.
- Offer your services as a master-builder to other citizens and do honest work for coin.
- Collect the weirdest creatures from across the universe and open a space zoo(!), then charge citizens coin to visit.
- Create amazing sandbox contraptions like people cannons and hyper-efficient crafting machines, and then sell copies of the blueprints to other players so they can create them too.
- Collect the most valuable and rarest resources from across the universe and open a shop that citizens will flock to.
- Open a Portal hub, connecting your world to distant worlds across the universe and allow citizens to travel, for a fee of course!
- Become a Boundless real estate agent, by searching for and claiming the coolest plots of land and then selling them to other players for coin.
- Craft the coolest wearables, the tint them to perfection and open a boutique fashion store.
