London, U.K. – July 24, 2018 – Square Enix Collective® has announced that their epic sandbox MMO Boundless by indie developer Wonderstruck Games will launch on September 11, at which time it will be available on PC and PlayStation 4®. Wonderstruck will self-publish the PS4 release of Boundless, while Square Enix Collective will release the game for PC.[arve url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a2L6teTG6E" title="Boundless - Launch Date Announcement [PEGI]Boundless provides a single universe with a multitude of interconnected worlds with immense player autonomy. The many mechanics and aspects of the game—which include political dynamics, economies, and crafting, among many more—are fully influenced by players and their choices. Boundless functions as an "ecosystem" that breathes and develops based on the relationships between players while they craft, trade, discover, and work together."Throughout its Early Access run, we've watched players flourish within Boundless’ evolving universe," said Wonderstruck Games Director James Austin. “Now, with our full launch in September, we’re excited to see where they take the full game - especially given that PC and PS4 gamers will all be operating within the same space, crafting and creating with each other within the same worlds.”

The World: Countless Options, Full Autonomy

Boundless has many unique environments to explore, and those worlds are accessible through portals that players can activate for easy travel. Discover the wonders and opportunities in lush rainforests, take on the challenge of scarcity in arid wastelands and harsh tundras, all while building relationships with your friends and fellow explorers.Players will work from the ground up to achieve whatever their dreams may be—thrust into the world with no NPCs and no pre-built structures, your fate is then up to you. Build a humble village, live peacefully with friends on a farm, or set your sights on becoming the crown Viceroy by climbing your way to the top of the world itself, where you can direct the economy, sway politics, and reign supreme.However, if ruling the world isn't quite your style, Boundless offers endless opportunity for adventure and innovation. Players can sculpt beautiful works, become an influential trader, settle treacherous lands, invent gadgets and gizmos, and discover unique plants and animals.

Cross-Platform Ingenuity: All Players, One Universe

One of the most attractive features of Boundless is that no matter the platform, players still share the same universe.“For a game like Boundless, which relies on the community to create a constantly evolving universe, allowing every player, in every region, on every platform, to play together was always vital,” said Phil Elliott, director of indie publishing at Square Enix West. “Because one of the really important, unique aspects of Boundless is that—whichever path you choose within the game, and whichever role you play—you do it in a single, unsharded universe in full view of the entire player-base. Which means that your actions have real meaning.”Since the interconnected worlds in Boundless continually adapt and change according to player decisions and actions, the game puts players in a position where they must carve out their own niche in the expansive universe. Everything except the many planets in the game will be player-made; therefore, the possibilities are endless.
