Grounded 2 Trailer Reveals New Features and Early Access Release Date

Grounded 2 is an open-world survival adventure game developed by Obsidian Entertainment and Eidos Montréal, scheduled for Early Access release on Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) on July 29, 2025. Set two years after the original game, the story follows the four teenage protagonists—Max, Hoops, Willow, and Pete—who return to a much larger world, now centered around the expansive Brookhollow Park. The new map is three times larger than the previous one and features unique landmarks such as ice cream carts, snack stands, and trash bins, all scaled up to fit the shrunken characters.

A major new feature in Grounded 2 is the introduction of “Buggies,” which are rideable and trainable insects, each with special abilities that add strategic depth to exploration, combat, and building. The combat system has also been enhanced with a rock-paper-scissors mechanic, allowing for light and heavy attacks, blocking, and dashing—abilities that enemies can also use. Players can choose from various playstyles, such as tank, rogue, mage, or hunter, thanks to the new Active Mutations system.

The game supports both single-player and up to four-player cooperative modes. Grounded 2 promises a deeper story, more diverse environments, new insects and bosses, and a gameplay experience that incorporates player feedback through its Early Access phase. While it will launch first on Xbox and PC, there is potential for future releases on other platforms.
