During the show, Xbox highlighted 10 neat-looking indie games that will be coming to Xbox Game Pass when they release. Lightyear Frontier is coming to Xbox Series X/S, PC and Xbox Game Pass in Spring 2023.
With a release date now set for Spring 2023, I'm looking forward to seeing how it shapes up. Exploring an inviting, peaceful alien open-world certainly has its appeal, and growing and tending to crops in a customizable mech puts a fun and more unique spin on farming. Lightyear Frontier is already speaking to my farming and crafting-loving heart. With its economic system, certain crops will be worth more each game week, so it quite literally pays to keep an eye on which plants increase in value. While you can discover crops and resources around the world, you can also buy them from a visiting merchant, who will buy up anything you grow. Instead, the challenge comes from protecting plants from changing weather conditions and wildlife, as well as trying to ensure you're suiting the different needs of alien crops you may come across. While there is a survivability aspect that comes into play in regard to the crops that you grow, there's no risk of death. So these transform modes that you can equip and turn into are one of those ways to let players customize their experience and make their mech suit their fantasy." "And instead of trying to make a bunch of different mechs to fulfill each of these fantasies, we're making a single mech with a tonne of customization. "The reason we made these transform modes is that, as we made this game, we realized that everyone has a different mech fantasy of what their mech should be like – how it should move, how it should act," Hedström said. Transform modes, for example, can be outfitted to change up its movement system, which is just one of the many options available that are geared towards helping players realize their "mech fantasy", as Frame Break CEO Joakim Hedström put it. From upgrades to tools and different paint jobs, I got to see some of the customization options we'll be able to play around with to finetune and personalize the mech. I got the chance to check out some new Lightyear Frontier gameplay during a hands-off preview, and I'm already taken by the idea of diving into a peaceful world in a mech that I can customize and use to my liking.
