Miju Games has announced a full The Planet Crafter release date, bringing the planetary survival game out of Early Access after more than two years.

Originally released in Early Access back in March 2022, The Planet Crafter will finally get its 1.0 update on April 10th. It'll bring lots of new content with it as well, so it's not just a launch in name (or number) only.

Per an official announcement on the game's Steam pageThe Planet Crafter 1.0 will feature co-op multiplayer that supports up to ten players, as well as new biomes, new lore and endgame content, and more.

The Planet Crafter 1.0 will also bring a new chance to create big animals "via DNA manipulation", which...well, we all know where that ends up, so be careful.

New character animations will be added, and a new cinematic intro will be available to bring you into the world of The Planet Crafter. You can also look forward to new craftable items, a rework for existing biomes, and new music tracks, plus plenty of other improvements.

In other words, as you'd probably expect, The Planet Crafter 1.0 sounds like it'll be a fully polished version of the survival-crafter that's been in Early Access for the last couple of years.

You can check out the release date announcement trailer for The Planet Crafter right here.

If you're not familiar with The Planet Crafter, it's an open-world survival-crafter in which you must transform a hostile planet's ecosystem to make it a viable place for humans to live.

To do so, you must construct a biosphere from scratch, building mechanisms for breathable oxygen, atmospheric pressure, and heating.

Since its Early Access launch, The Planet Crafter has received a number of updates, adding features like new biomes, cave systems, and more.

The full version of The Planet Crafter launches on April 10th on PC via Steam. Make sure to check out our guides for the game if you need help creating your very own little cozy planet.
