Frozen Way Studio and publisher Snail Games USA have launched Honeycomb: The World Beyond on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series platforms, bringing a new twist to the survival sandbox genre. Available now on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles, the game is priced at $29.99 / £26.75 / €30.49 and puts players in the role of Hennessy, a pioneering scientist tasked with exploring a mysterious alien world called Sota7 in a bid to save life on Earth.
Sota7 is far from your average alien landscape. The planet is home to an array of distinct biomes, from quiet forests and vibrant jungles to vast open fields at the base of an active volcano, and each environment is filled with its own flora and fauna. The central idea of the game revolves around bioengineering. Players analyze samples, gather resources, and use mechanisms such as grafting and outcrossing to cross-breed plants and animals, creating entirely new hybrid life forms that may hold the key to restoring Earth’s ecosystem. It’s a concept that sets Honeycomb apart from the usual survival fare, relying more on the role of scientist than warrior.
Base building also plays an important role in the experience. Taking inspiration from the organic forms of Art Nouveau design, the modular base system is described as both a visual and strategic element, allowing players to expand and adapt their setup as they research. At the heart of each base is a laboratory where players can grow plants, build scientific equipment, and process samples collected from the field. For those less interested in the intricacies of construction, a planning mode is available to automatically handle large jobs.
On the technical side, Frozen Way Studio has teamed up with NVIDIA to bring some impressive PC-specific improvements to the title. The game supports NVIDIA RTXDI, DLSS 4.5 with Ray Reconstruction, Multi Frame Generation and Reflex, suggesting that those with compatible hardware should enjoy a particularly refined visual experience. The developers spoke enthusiastically about the possibilities offered by the game’s crossover mechanics, noting their excitement to see the creative solutions players bring to Sota7’s challenges.
Honeycomb: The World Beyond is now available on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series platforms.
