After a bit of a last minute delay, developer Klei Entertainment has announced that its enormously enjoyable space colony management sim, Oxygen Not Included, will be leaving early access and getting its full PC launch next week, on Tuesday, 30th July.
Those that opt to take up Oxygen Not Included's challenge come launch day, will find themselves tasked with constructing and managing a sustainable colony deep within an alien space rock - achieved by commanding a steadily growing team of Duplicants, while also ensuring all their basic needs - eating, breathing, and pooping, for instance - are met.
Crucial to the endeavour is the manipulation and redirection of liquids and gases into (in the case of water and oxygen) and away from (in the case of anything poisonous) your burgeoning colony. It's a wonderfully rich experience, with some gloriously endearing presentation, that's gone from strength to strength during early access development.
