Honey, I Shrunk the Developers! Grounded 2's Early Access Roadmap is HUGE
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Obsidian Entertainment's *Grounded 2* roadmap promises a tidal wave of content, from new bosses and gear to crossplay and Steam Deck support, ensuring players stay shrunk and entertained well into 2026. It looks like the developers are planning a methodical approach to building upon the foundation established by the original Grounded, so stay tuned!
Right, so Obsidian Entertainment's, of *Avowed* and *The Outer Worlds* fame, dropped a roadmap for *Grounded 2* (according to Game Rant), and bloody hell, it’s more ambitious than a spider trying to build a web across the Grand Canyon. For those just tuning in, *Grounded 2* is the sequel to their original multiplayer survival game *Grounded,* where you play as a teen shrunken down to the size of an ant. What's not to love, eh?
*Grounded* first launched in early access back in 2020 and officially launched in 2022. Now, the roadmap stretches from Fall 2025 all the way to Summer 2026 (and beyond!). That's a fair whack of content coming down the pipe. So, what goodies can we expect? Let’s dive in, shall we?
First up, this Fall we're getting 'AXL Recipes' and 'AXL's Arena.' I reckon that means new crafting options and a place to test your mettle, alongside the usual suspects: new armor, weapons, furniture, and a shiny new Park Boss to bash. Sounds like a recipe for some solid ant-sized shenanigans if you ask me.
Winter brings something I've been personally waiting for -- Steam Deck verification and ROG Ally support. Finally! This means *Grounded 2* is officially ready to go on the go. Oh, and crossplay is on the way, so you can team up with your mates regardless of their platform. Kudos to Obsidian for getting this squared away; that's always a win in my book. Teamwork makes the dream work, even when the dream involves giant ants.
But it's Summer where things get *really* interesting. Get ready to get wet, because it's all about water. Think watery creatures, new water-themed equipment and bases, and, perhaps most importantly, Ziplines! This addition could be game-changing for traversal. No more trekking through endless blades of grass; just zip from point to point like a tiny, terrified Indiana Jones. Excellent.
Obsidian's clearly not messing about. The commitment to supporting *Grounded 2* throughout its early access period is impressive. Given the already significant buzz around the game, this roadmap should keep players hooked for the long haul. They seem to understand what made the original *Grounded* so popular, and they're doubling down on the good stuff.
Ultimately, the roadmap demonstrates Obsidian’s commitment to expanding *Grounded 2* throughout its early access period. Considering the original reviews praise the improvements on the first game, looks like Obsidian is onto something good with a roadmap planned through Summer 2026. Fair dinkum!
