X019: Reveal Trailer For Obsidian’s ‘Honey I Shrunk The Kids’ Survival RPG ‘Grounded’

Grounded Game

As it turns out, The Outer Worlds isn’t the only game Obsidian Entertainment has been working on. During Xbox’s X019 showcase today, a new game titled Grounded was announced with a reveal trailer.

The game is a first-person survival RPG with a catch: you play as someone the size of an insect. Basically, anyone who plays gets to pretend they’re in the 1989 Rick Moranis comedy Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and see how they fare trying to survive the dangers of a normal back yard when small bugs are now monsters.

You can find more info on Grounded and check out the reveal trailer below.

Obsidian Director of Communications Mikey Dowling had this to say about the game over at Xbox Wire:

During X019 in London, Xbox Game Studios and Obsidian Entertainment today announced Grounded, a new first-person, co-op survival game coming Spring 2020 to Xbox One digitally through Xbox Game Preview and with Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft Store, and on Steam. Grounded will be the first Xbox Game Preview title available with Xbox Game Pass.

In Grounded, players are shrunken to the size of an ant and tasked with surviving in the unique micro-world of a suburban backyard. Players must gather, craft and build bases with everyday objects found within the yard, searching for life-saving resources and living alongside giant, peaceful insects while fighting to survive massive hostile inhabitants.

Grounded provides a mix of environmental and narrative driven story telling. Set in a versatile, handcrafted sandbox structure it allows players to create their own experience from the ground up. Tasks that may seem approachable when human-sized become a challenge in this dangerous backyard landscape. This familiar yet fantastical world can be navigated solo or in four-person co-operative multiplayer, where players work together to complete missions or explore the intricately detailed world.

Created by a small development team, one of many working on new projects in the studio, Grounded is a true passion project. This title has given the team the creative outlet to bring their years of developing highly regarded games to bear on the survival genre. RPGs like The Outer Worlds will always be in Obsidian’s DNA, but from time to time we want to stretch our creative muscles and try things that might be a little different.

Microsoft has been a fantastic partner for Grounded which was in development long before the acquisition last year. We’re fortunate to be given the freedom to continue flexing our creative muscles and develop the games we want to make.
