Paradox Announces Foundry's Early Access Launch Date: May 2
Paradox Interactive and Channel 3 Entertainment are thrilled to announce that Foundry will be launching in Early Access on Steam on May 2nd. Foundry, the procedurally-generated voxel factory-building and automation sandbox, already garnered 100,000 players during its alpha phase on Itch.io and its demo on Steam Next Fest in October 2023.
Foundry is a first-person, factory-building and automation sandbox set in a beautiful, procedurally-generated voxel world. Starting from humble beginnings of manually mining and processing resources, crafting machinery, and developing technologies, players can advance to automating the entire production line to their precise plans. They will face different logistic challenges such as planning pipe and belt networks and managing complex power systems, working to expand their constantly growing production lines as they create their own gigantic, automated, and self-sustaining factory. Played solo or with friends, Foundry is the perfect mix between grid-based construction games and factory building simulations.
The time has come. The moment you have been waiting is finally here. We are happy to announce that FOUNDRY is going to be available for Early Access on May 2nd 2024! Watch the announcement trailer that was created with the help of our wonderful community members as most of the factories you will see in the video were created by them!
F.A.Q.
What is Foundry?
FOUNDRY is a first-person factory building simulation set in an endless procedurally generated voxel world. Mine resources, craft machinery and automate your research to progress through the game. Face logistic challenges by planning and building a conveyor belt and pipe network. Manage a complex power system and expand your constantly growing production lines!
When will FOUNDRY be available?
We will be available for early access on May 2nd, 2024!
What platforms will FOUNDRY be on?
At the moment we are planning to have FOUNDRY only on Steam, but we will keep you posted!
Why Early Access?
With Early Access the community will help us to create a better game since player feedback is crucial for complex simulation games. We will listen to your feedback and you may influence the development. Additionally your early support helps us to make the most of the potential we see in FOUNDRY.
What languages will the game support?
The game will provide the UI translations for the following languages: English, French, German, Spanish (both Spain and LATAM), Polish, Russian and Simplified Chinese and Japanese.
How often will Development Diaries get released, and where can I read them?
We aim to release Dev Diaries on a biweekly basis, and you will be able to read them on our forum, official website, and on our Steam page.
How can I be notified about the news?
Sign up for the newsletter to be posted about the latest news and get a unique gift on Steam when the game is officially out—Exclusive Mining Drill skin!
What if I bought the game on itch before?
Players who bought the game on itch.io will get a Steam key when the "Early Access" version of the game is released. We will tell you more details later as we will get closer to the next stage.
I have a question I want to ask a developer, where can I do that?
We have a Discord server and our Official Forum. Make sure to follow both of them not to miss a thing!
Do you have a roadmap?
We have some ideas in mind, but we need to be 100% sure they will be added before making any announcements. We are planning to make the roadmap available closer to EA launch.
Does the game have online or co-op gameplay?
It does! The multiplayer mode is mostly designed towards 2 - 4 players on the same server, but you can always go extra as there is no hard limit
What will happen to the itch.io version of the game?
If you bought the game previously on itch.io, you can still access it, however this version is no longer updated and there is no way to buy it on itch.io now.
Stay tuned for more news!
