Surviving Mars Dev Tracker

Welcome, Commander!

It appears you requested an update on how we developed the new Below and Beyond project. The name’s Elmer Lexmond designer on the Below and Beyond planning and development team, nice to
meet you! I’m here to give you a peek behind the curtain. On the agenda today is Mining Asteroids!

The DLC will launch on September 7th on all available platforms.
