Gamescom Opening Night Live never disappoints, and this year was no exception! Octopus Panic, a talented indie developer, unleashed Gravhounds upon the world, and gamers are already barking with excitement. This unique action-builder puts you in control of genetically engineered dogs exploring a hostile alien planet.
Meet the Gravhounds
In Gravhounds, humanity’s best friends have evolved into interstellar pioneers. These aren’t your average pups; they’re “Gravhounds,” bred for this very purpose. While undeniably canine, their humanoid features hint at significant genetic engineering. The game takes place on a remote alien world where no human has ever set foot, but the Gravhounds are ready to establish a new colony.
Building a Future, One Bark at a Time
Gravhounds allows for 1-4 players to team up and gather resources, construct a thriving colony, and maintain hope of returning home. Upgrades are crucial for survival, especially when facing constant threats from alien forces. The gameplay loop seems to revolve around exploration, resource management, base building, and defending against the planet’s hostile inhabitants.
Early Access Dawns
For those eager to dive into the world of Gravhounds, the early access version is launching on November 2nd for Xbox Series X|S and PC. This will allow players to experience the core gameplay loop while Octopus Panic continues to refine and expand the game based on community feedback. The early access period is expected to last at least six months, during which time developers will focus on enhancing the scope, depth, and replayability of Gravhounds. Both single-player and cooperative modes will be available from day one.
