Team Up With Bio-Engineered Dogs in GRAVHOUNDS
Octopus Panic has officially unleashed GRAVHOUNDS, its debut co-op action-builder, into Early Access on PC via Steam and Game Preview on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox PC. The game is also available on Xbox Game Pass from day one, making it easier for players to round up their friends and jump straight into the action. It costs £15.99/€19.99/$19.99, with a 25% launch discount available on Steam until 16 November.
Built for one to four players, GRAVHOUNDS puts players in control of a pack of bio-engineered canine workers sent to explore dangerous alien worlds. Their job? Gather resources, build defensive structures, and hold the line against increasingly dangerous enemy attacks. Of course, things can get pretty chaotic when gravity-bending tools and physics-driven destruction enter the mix.
The Early Access version already packs in plenty of content, including five playable Gravhounds, seven solar systems, 25 planets, 21 defensive systems, and 60 unlockable mods. Players can experiment with different building strategies, strengthen their bases, and work together to survive whatever these hostile worlds throw at them.
“Reaching Early Access is a huge milestone for our team, but we see it as the beginning of the next chapter.” said Josh Holmes, Co-Founder of Octopus Panic. “We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who’s played, shared feedback, or helped spread the word about GRAVHOUNDS. We’re excited to get the game into more players’ hands, hear what they think, and keep making it better together.”
With its adorable canine crew, chaotic physics, and cooperative gameplay, GRAVHOUNDS certainly has an unusual recipe for an action-builder. Now that Early Access is underway, it’ll be interesting to see how Octopus Panic builds on the experience with player feedback.
