The first Planet Explorers perfectly executed all of the survival elements that made the game more fun by including crafting, exploration paired with a likable story. Back in 2016, when the game first came out in early access, many praised the world-building mechanics and flexibility it grants to players in randomly generated worlds, much like Minecraft. Players crash into the unknown planet where they have to survive, explore, gather resources, build bases and fight hostile inhabitants of the planet.
With the game released 5 years ago, many fans are wondering if there is a sequel of Planet Explorers in development? Read on more to know about Planet Explorers 2 game and release date prediction.

Features of Planet Explorers
Apart from its role-playing aspect, Planet Explorers features unique world-building mechanics that breathes new life into the game such as build mode and adventure mode, and we’ll be explaining more about those features.
Build mode
Similar to Minecraft, you’ll have no enemies in this mode and will have an infinite amount of building materials. Players can create whatever they want to, including everything in the creation’s editor. You can think of this mode as a testing ground for whatever you wish to create. You can create your own world without the risk of being attacked by hostile aliens.
Adventure mode
This mode is derived from the procedural map generated from a seed. In this mode, players can defeat bosses, complete random missions and sidequests, venture into different beautiful landscapes, and lastly dive through dungeons. What’s more, adventure mode also features survival and versus mode.
Will there be Planet Explorers 2 in the future?
As the first game wasn’t finished, there’s no news and announcement from the devs side on whether the development of Planet Explorers 2 is in progress or not. Many of the stuff in the first game was in an incomplete state and were riddled with performance issues and lack of optimization which can be fixed with mods. It is uncertain when it will release, but if there’s an official announcement of the game, we’ll keep you updated.
