New gameplay footage has surfaced for the anticipated post‑apocalyptic open‑world sci‑fi survival sandbox, wastelands. The clips showcase the game’s sprawling environments and the new water‑based gameplay elements that push players to survive in extreme conditions. A sense of scale and danger permeates every frame, hinting at a world where the environment itself can be as deadly as the enemies roaming the ruins.
The story unfolds after a spacecraft crash in a world that has weathered catastrophe. The surviving crew members must adapt to a harsh, unfamiliar landscape where resources are scarce and every decision counts. Radiation still lingers, mutating the local ecosystem and spawning dangerous, bloodthirsty threats that stalk the player at random intervals. The setting emphasizes grit, resilience, and the stark reality of life on a planet that never fully heals from its disaster.
Throughout each expedition, players are challenged to search for supplies, craft essential tools, and construct functional shelters, water systems, and bases to endure the ceaseless struggle for survival. The game rewards vigilance and clever planning, turning simple acts of gathering and building into meaningful, life‑or‑death choices. A loyal canine companion can join the hero on their journey, providing assistance, companionship, and practical aid in navigating treacherous terrain.
Derelics promises both single‑player and cooperative play, offering a shared survival experience for teams that want to band together against the hostile world. The environment is dynamic, with weather patterns that shift and intensify as the story unfolds. Storms can erupt with little warning, altering visibility and play patterns, ensuring players never feel completely safe, even in what seems like a secured outpost.
At the moment, an exact release date for Derelicts has not been announced. Early system requirements are being circulated, giving eager fans a sense of the game’s scope and performance needs. The title can also be added to the Steam wish list, signaling strong interest from the community and hinting at a potential multi‑platform launch that could broaden access for players across North America.
