Terraformed is now open to the public

Terraformed (codename N E X T) was developed by Summon Studios, using W/ARE technology, for the most important project in our long history – to save our species. What started out as a dream of one man, has become the last great hope for mankind.

For nearly a decade we’ve been working around the clock with the smartest people in the star system, even the great and powerful [REDACTED] has been helping expand our knowledge. Due to the importance of this project we weren’t able to talk about it with the public, but since the lottery was announced by [REDACTED], I guess the lasher plant is out of the bag.

Please keep in mind that the footage was captured by [REDACTED] and broadcasted from [REDACTED] light years away, because of this, the video quality will resemble a crude simulation from the early 21st century. However we don’t create games, we create worlds!

– The Terraformed Team

P.S. – Ignore the [REDACTED], we’ll just have to deal with her like our ancestors did back on Earth. If you are a believer of The Lore, please Praise the Beard for a safe journey to those brave Travellers headed into the unknown.

P.P.S. – IMPORTANT REMINDER: The deadline to submit your V4 Pass into the colonist lottery ends on May 11th.

BREAKING THE 4th WALL DISCLAIMER: I’ve received a few emails asking where to submit their Atlas Pass V4s for the Colonist Lottery and wanted to clear this up. I have no affiliation with NMS or HG, I was simply using the NMS lore as part of the Terraformed back story. I also used the date May 11th in my backstory, because that was the last day you could vote for your favorite dev submissions, the Colonist Lottery is not a real thing. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. Also wanted to thank everyone who voted for Terraformed and to congratulate all the winners of the W/ARE contest. Onward and upward, Travellers!
