Exciting new details have emerged from Obsidian Entertainment regarding the upcoming Grounded Fully Yoked update, brimming with fresh elements and unexpected twists. This update marks the conclusive major content release for Grounded, aimed at enriching players' adventures as they delve deeper into the diminutive wilderness.
Grounded is an immersive survival game crafted by Obsidian Entertainment, where players are miniaturized to the scale of insects and must navigate a sprawling backyard landscape fraught with perils and enigmas. Situated in a vast backyard setting, players scrounge for resources, construct shelters, forge tools and weapons, and fend off diverse insects and hazards to survive. The game underscores teamwork in multiplayer mode or offers a solo experience, plunging players into a hazardous tiny realm.
Scheduled for release on April 16 across Xbox, PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4/5, and Xbox Game Pass, the Grounded Fully Yoked update guarantees an array of innovative features. These details were disclosed by the Obsidian Entertainment team at PAX East in Boston. Among the standout features of the update is the introduction of a New Game+ mode, enabling players to embark on a fresh journey with added hurdles and incentives. Additionally, players can anticipate encounters with new ant queens, including fire, red, and black variations, alongside infused bugs that present distinct challenges. The Fully Yoked update also delivers numerous gameplay enhancements, such as the capacity to upgrade gear beyond level 9, novel mutations to augment player capabilities, and thrilling weapon variations to diversify combat tactics within Grounded's microscopic domain.
An especially intriguing inclusion is the Secret Door feature, where players must vanquish formidable foes like the Javamatic, Brood Mother, Mantis, and Wasp Queen to unveil a concealed passage. Furthermore, the update introduces fresh molars, achievements, and various quality-of-life improvements to offer a more refined gaming experience in Grounded's commonplace open-world setting.
In tandem with the Fully Yoked update, Obsidian Entertainment is also rolling out a physical release of Grounded: Fully Yoked Edition, accessible on Xbox, Switch, and PS5. This edition encompasses an exclusive Collector's Edition comprising an art book, miniatures, a dice set, and other memorabilia for enthusiasts to relish.
The impending ports for PlayStation and Switch for Grounded pledge content parity with the original game, ensuring uniform feature accessibility across all platforms, supported by crossplay integration. Nonetheless, the Switch version might encounter some concessions in graphics and frame rate, hinted at in the trailer, although efforts are underway to avert the pitfalls witnessed in other Switch adaptations. As the game gears up to receive its ultimate major update, fans can look forward to delving deeper into the realm of Grounded.
