Sandbox MMO Boundless out on PC and PS4

British indie developers at Wonderstruck released their huge MMO after 4 years of Early Access. 

British indie game developers at Wonderstruck, paired with industry giant Square Enix Collective announced today the release on PC and Playstation 4 of Boundless, a massive world-building sandbox and MMO after 4 years of being in Early Access.

Boundless consists of a single universe that links different worlds through portals built and maintined by the players themselves, as they mold their territories as they please, creating guilds and working together towards character progression and new possibilities.

Trading, hunting and crafting are some of the many things that Boundless allows players to do while they explore and build fortresses and decorate them with Minecraft-like block-based mechanics. “This launch is akin to the Big Bang in our eyes,” said James Austin, Director of Wonderstruck. “In essence, we’re firing out the atoms to form a new universe that players will live, explore and create within, defining how it grows and changes with no input on our part. Players on PC and PS4 will be able to step from one world to the next – from one planet bustling with a packed, burgeoning metropolis to another, with a desolate, undeveloped landscape ripe for evolution.”

Players will be able to choose their paths, either becoming nomads on a strange world or work towards becoming the most powerful settler of it and even thriving to obtain the title of Viceroy. Exploration and ambition are key to Boundless, as players discover new technologies by crafting, build ever more impressive homesteads and rally followers towards ultimate power.

Here are some of the game’s core features:

• Colonise planets by yourself or join a settlement with others and grow your Beacon into the capital of the world with the Prestige system
• Craft hundreds of items including building blocks, tools, weapons, food and much more
• Spend your hard-earned skill points in the Skill Tree and tailor your character to how you want to play the game
• Complete objectives, feats and events to earn rewards and Experience Points to level up your character
• Build and maintain a Portal between worlds for you and others to use
• Trade items with others or set up a shop to sell and buy items while you’re off adventuring
• Seamlessly travel to new worlds and discover different creatures, resources, block colours and user generated creations in an ever-changing universe – each world automatically regenerates areas that are not protected by a Beacon and returns it to its original layout, creating new and much needed resources for you to collect

“For me, the appeal of Boundless has always been the opportunity it provides for gamers to create a constantly evolving universe, allowing every player, whatever platform and whatever region, to play together,” said Phil Elliott, Director of Indie Publishing at Square Enix West. “It’s what makes Boundless a unique prospect, because whichever path you choose and whichever role you play, it takes place in a single, unsharded universe in full view of every single player. Actions have real meaning.”

Boundless can be purchased as of today for PC and Playstation 4 for GBP 32.99/ EUR 39.99/ USD 39.99. A deluxe edition is available at GBP 49.99 / EUR 59.99 / USD 59.99
