What you need to know
Surviving Mars is a city-building survival game set on the titular red planet, developed by Haemimont Games.
During Paradox Insider 2021, we learned that Abstraction Games is taking over development of new content.
An expansion is coming sometime later in 2021, while Surviving Mars has crossed 5 million players since launch.
Surviving Mars, a space-based survival city-building title, was originally developed by Haemimont Games and published by Paradox Interactive. Today, during the Paradox Insider 2021 showcase, we learned that the development reins have been passed to Abstraction Games, a studio that has worked in a support capacity on different projects like Mass Effect: Legendary Edition.
It s been one year since we launched the GamesIndustry.biz Academy, and the section has gone from strength to strength since then.
With the aim to both support the next generation of game developers and provide resources to existing members of the games industry, the Academy produced over 250 guides to making, funding, monetising, promoting and working in video games in the last year. These articles were produced by the
GamesIndustry.biz team of course, but we also collaborated with over 100 external contributors, experts in their fields, who shared knowledge in our pages.
In October, with the support of Creative Assembly, we organised a digital event designed to connect university and college students with games industry professionals in the UK GI Live: Academy, during which more than 1,500 students and 40 games companies joined a Discord server to meet and network.
