Journey to Sota7: Honeycomb: The World Beyond Sets Release Date
Publisher Snail Games and developer Frozen Way have officially announced that their unique sci-fi survival adventure, Honeycomb: The World Beyond, will launch on November 6, 2025. This highly anticipated title invites players to embark on a scientific expedition to an unknown alien world, combining elements of exploration, base building, and genetic experimentation.
A Desperate Mission for Humanity
In Honeycomb: The World Beyond, players step into the role of Hennessy, a bioengineer dispatched by the powerful EON Corporation to the enigmatic planet Sota7. Humanity on Earth faces a dire crisis, and the 'Honeycomb Project' represents its last hope. Hennessy's critical mission is to gather vital data, thoroughly research the local life forms, and uncover the key that could ultimately save humanity.
Taisia Gaidei, Lead Designer at Frozen Way, shared insights into the game's inspiration: “At Frozen Way, we grew up loving science fiction. We were fascinated by the genre’s expressive visual aesthetics, the sense of wonder and adventure, and the science that underpins it all. We loved the spirit of experimentation—the chance to see what works, what fails, and what unexpected challenges you might encounter along the way. Honeycomb: The World Beyond is designed to make you feel simultaneously like a tiny particle marveling at the universe’s grandeur and an ingenious innovator discovering how its different elements fit together. Sota7 is a dream planet for a research scientist, just waiting to be discovered.”
Unraveling Sota7's Secrets Through Genetic Cross-Breeding
Sota7 presents itself with a deceptive tranquility. Its lush meadows, intricate caves, and dense biomes paint a picturesque landscape. However, beneath this beauty lies a perilous environment teeming with predatory creatures and challenging conditions where a single misstep can prove fatal. Players will need to master the art of survival while pushing the boundaries of scientific discovery.
A core mechanic of Honeycomb: The World Beyond involves cross-breeding the planet's diverse flora and fauna. By experimenting with different species, players will unlock new hybrids boasting unique properties. These genetic experiments are not only thrilling but crucial, as they can yield rare resources, advance vital research, and even lead to the creation of life-saving medicines for Earth.
Interacting with Sota7's inhabitants requires careful strategy. While some species might show curiosity, others will aggressively defend their territory. Players must make tactical decisions: engage in cautious contact, retreat, or confront the aggressive fauna head-on, all as part of their survival strategy. To endure on Sota7, establishing a secure base is essential. Players will utilize 'hive-drones' to expand their operational center, transforming it into a fully functional laboratory, a comfortable living quarter, and a crucial resource storage area. Base construction offers flexibility, allowing for meticulous manual building or simplified planning mode for quicker setup.
Advanced Graphics for an Alien World
Survival on Sota7 hinges on maintaining a delicate balance. Players must meticulously manage their own well-being and the environment, carefully gathering resources and utilizing them wisely. Every discovered mineral, every plant, and every biological sample holds the potential to play a decisive role in their mission. To enhance the visual fidelity and immersive experience of Sota7, Frozen Way has collaborated with NVIDIA. Honeycomb: The World Beyond will feature advanced NVIDIA technologies, including RTX Direct Illumination, DLSS 4 with Ray Reconstruction, Frame Generation, and Reflex. These integrations promise to deliver a more spectacular and realistic visual experience. Attendees of gamescom 2025 in Cologne will have the opportunity to try out a fresh demo version, showcasing these features, at the Indie Arena booth.
Honeycomb: The World Beyond aims to ignite the explorer within every player, offering a unique blend of scientific adventure and challenging survival. The game will be available on PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
