Obsidian Entertainment is set to release Grounded 2, the sequel to their popular survival game, this summer. Players can expect to be shrunk down once more and navigate a massive backyard filled with challenges. Grounded 2 will launch in Game Preview for Xbox Series X|S on July 29.
The follow-up continues the story of the original game, which gained popularity after its entry into Xbox Game Preview in 2020. As revealed in the trailer, players once again take on the roles of the same kids who have been miniaturized, now facing an even larger world. In this open-world adventure, players can engage in single-player or cooperative gameplay, crafting weapons and armor, building their bases, and exploring the vast playground using various gadgets.
The original Grounded brought a fresh take on survival mechanics, reminiscent of the classic film “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!” It received extensive updates that expanded its features, leading to a full release in 2022. Additionally, the game was part of the initial wave of PlayStation 5 ports from Xbox, which significantly broadened its audience when it released on that platform in early 2024.
Grounded 2 promises to build on the success of its predecessor, adding new elements while retaining the unique charm that won over fans. The news is certainly exciting for those who appreciate survival games, providing an opportunity for both returning players and newcomers to experience the adventures awaiting them in a well-crafted backyard setting.
