Cosminers is a Mining Survival Sim with a Nighttime Twist

Who doesn't love a good alien world mining operation? The kind where how much you pollute the place doesn't matter because there's no humans to worry about, and those sweet, sweet minerals are needed to line your pockets. 

You know, the not-so-distant future-type stuff.

Cosminers from Gravity Rifters is set to offer up that fantasy for up to four players in a game not afraid to let you know it's meshing multiple genres while homaging some of the best of the best from among that multi-genre list. Games like Deep Rock Galactic, Astroneer and Subnautica make that manifest and its easy to see why. Cosminers lets you extract resources, expand your base and fend off nightly attacks from hordes of upset locals in a tower defense-like setup with ever-escalating attacks.

Clearly one of the fun aspects of these types of games is turning the most remote outpost into a cozy home, and this looks to deliver on that front - just how expansive it'll be in the final game remains to be seen, and we have a while to wait yet with Cosminers set to launch in "Q1 2026", so look at this as the first a few posts as we follow this with great interest. Many of the games it leans on for inspiration are among our faves and started as 'basic' concepts too before becoming quite involved and then influential in their own right.
