It’s been nearly two years since Canadian studio Goose Byte opened their doors and today we have a first look at what they’ve been working on. Their debut title, The Signal is a third-person multiplayer open-world survival game being built in Unreal Engine 5 for consoles and PC.
The Signal Key Features
- Venture onto an alien planet featuring multiple biomes littered with strange structures and a sentient ecosystem that seems to react to your every move.
- Explore, create, and survive as you choose to tame or coexist with your new home.
- Scan the rocks, flora, fauna, and alien landmarks as you come to grips with this strange new world.
- Invent and share infrastructure, vehicles, and equipment that help you and your expedition solve challenges and puzzles.
- Master the art of sustainable stewardship of the Planet and its resources as you play the long game.
- Play alone or with up to 16 players on player-hosted dedicated servers on this unique expedition through a one-of-a-kind planet.
“We want to take players on a journey: as you step out onto this uncharted planet you are faced immediately with an environment that is as mysterious as it is beautiful. This planet is teeming with unknown flora and fauna across multiple, massive biomes. But not everything is as it seems. The planet is fully aware of your actions and, the longer you spend exploring, the more it starts interacting and messing with you.”
Theodor Diea, CEO and founder of Goose Byte
Goose Byte says that The Signal is built on three key pillars: exploration, invention, and survival with a focus on user-generated crafting content and the use of the game’s unique recipe-sharing system. The game is currently in development with no release date at this time. Though they do tease more details coming in the months ahead. Watch the reveal trailer below.
