ROUTINE - IGN FIRST & EDGE MAGAZINE

Hi everyone!

With ROUTINE launching in less than a week, we wanted to take a moment to revisit last month’s media coverage.

One of the main highlights was that ROUTINE was the cover feature of EDGE 417. Released on October 30th, the issue includes an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at ROUTINE. If you’d like to dive deeper, you can grab your copy here.

ROUTINE was also featured in the IGN First editorial series. If you missed any of the articles or videos, here’s a quick recap:

  • Introducing the C.A.T. Ultraview Module

This video introduces the C.A.T. Ultraview Module, a tool you’ll be using often while moving through the lunar base. It’s especially helpful for spotting things that aren’t immediately visible.

We hope this recap has been helpful. If you’d like some additional insight, we recently hosted an AMA on Reddit, which featured plenty of interesting questions and answers.

There’s very little time left before ROUTINE’s final launch, and we hope you’re just as excited as we are.

See you soon.
