Coffee Stain Studios, creators of the hit factory-building game Satisfactory, has announced an exciting content roadmap, leading up to a full release scheduled for 2024. The announcement, coupled with the impressive milestone of selling over 5.5 million copies, indicates a strong future for the popular title. The developers shared their vision and plans in a recent video, outlining the updates players can expect in the lead-up to the game’s departure from early access.
Update Previews: From Warfare to Romance
A set of major updates is on the horizon, with the studio confirming at least two for 2024 and one for 2025. The first, Update 9: Experimental War, is slated for a May 2024 release and promises to introduce a more serious gameplay experience. This update will challenge players to optimize their factories’ efficiency while also incorporating weaponry into various game elements. Then, December 2024 will bring Update X, designed to push the game towards its final release phase. This update will not only speed up vehicles but also introduce an unusual twist, allowing players to engage in romances with the game’s creatures.
Lasers and New Features in 2025
Looking further ahead, Update 11 will roll out in April 2025, featuring new automation possibilities and laser technologies. A fresh cooking system will also become a part of the game’s extensive list of features. These updates aim to enrich the player experience and prepare Satisfactory for its final form.
Despite these ambitious updates, the studio has clarified that beyond Update 11, no further updates are planned before the game exits early access. The team aims to conclude development by 2024, although a specific launch date for the 1.0 version remains unannounced. Players can anticipate this final release to occur before the close of 2024.
The upcoming content demonstrates the studio’s commitment to building on Satisfactory’s success. Fans eagerly await the new additions that promise to enhance the depth and complexity of the widely acclaimed game.
