The Glitchwalkers expansion for Astroneer will release in November

System Era Softworks and crazy space folks Devolver Digital have announced that Glitchwalkers, the first paid expansion for Astroneer will release on November 13. They have released a short new trailer for the expansion, which you can watch below.

The expansion is launching on November 13 for PC, Xbox and PlayStation 4, with the Switch release coming a little later. How much later, that is unknown but the developers have confirmed a 2024 release for it.

As announced, Glitchwalkers extends the survival sandbox experience of Astroneer to unprecedented levels. A new planet, the largest ever in Astroneer, is ready for exploration, featuring new biomes, technologies, gameplay elements, and the franchise's inaugural villain.

Moreover, Glitchwalkers heralds the much-anticipated comeback of Storms to both the expansion and the original game. The solar system is now home to Glitched Storms, and players must shield themselves from being compromised by these digital storms to stand any chance of triumphing in their quest.

Glitchwalkers will expand Astroneer’s universe while maintaining all of the crafting, building and exploration that existing Astroneers know and love. For players unprepared to leap into the unknown, there will also be a free companion update to the base game that introduces new gameplay, quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes.

Are you ready to go where no man (except the developers) have gone before?
