Generation Exile's pre-1.0 journey reaches its destination

It's almost difficult to believe but Generation Exile has reached the end of this phase of its journey. After a focused Early Access period and a much, much longer period of development, we are proud to bring to you all the version of the game that completes our vision of it.

The game has advanced a lot in the last stretch with changes too numerous to list, but among the biggest are:

  • Final "Planetfall" chapter of the game that puts all the player's skills to the test with dynamic objects that change every playthrough. This chapter follows the previous ones organically but can also be launched into directly as something of a "sandbox" challenge mode.

  • Streamlining and refinement of systems players engage with the most, and addessing valuable feedback to improve these systems (goodbye Rubble, you will not be missed!).

  • Many, many new structures.

  • Additional narrative events.

  • Bug fixes and polish galore!

We also wanted to highlight something else that we're very proud that Generation Exile's 1.0 launch can be a part of....

Earth Appreciation Fest!
