Gameplay Reveal & Release Announcement

This week we partnered with PlayStation & IGN to unveil AWAY's new gameplay walkthrough. The video takes you through one of AWAY’s side quests and showcases some of the game’s new features and mechanics, such as:

  • Fighting a scorpion

  • Hunting for lizards

  • Using the Sugar Glider's instinct

  • Playing as a new creature.

Alongside the new gameplay walkthrough, we officially announced that AWAY will be coming to PC & PS4 in early 2021.

This is later than we had anticipated, but we want to make sure AWAY lives up to the promise we've made you. The remaining 6-8 months will be spent polishing AWAY's animations and mechanics, fixing pesky bugs, and optimizing the game for all platforms.

We're extremely grateful for your patience so far and we're excited to get the game in your hands!

(We're also working behind the scenes to see if we can bring AWAY to Xbox, so stay tuned for more info.)
Free Nature Soundscape
In the meantime, we want to give you a chance to experience AWAY's lush environments, so we've prepared a relaxing nature soundscape set in the temperate forest of AWAY.

The audio you are about to hear was generated entirely in-game. We swept a virtual microphone through the first level of the game, capturing the sounds of a dense forest, the gentle call of birds, and the echo of a distant waterfall. It truly sounds like a living forest.
