Our planet is doomed, that’s just the way it is. Whether it’s a meteor striking Earth and wiping out humanity, dinosaurs resurrecting and looking for vengeance, or the polar ice caps melting and flooding the planet, our time here is limited. If that last scenario comes to pass, Finnish developer Grand Cru has an optimistic take on the disaster as evidenced by their upcoming mobile game Supernauts. The planet floods rendering current civilizations uninhabitable, but hey, luckily there’s a group of superheroes ready to rebuild our civilized world on the water, in the air, and in space. See how it will all go down in the official trailer.
I don’t know about you, but I get a heavy Minecraft vibe from Supernauts, even though it doesn’t look a whole heck of a lot like Minecraft. But building your own creations like that giant computer or a replica of the Sphinx, especially with friends, looks incredibly fun and reminds me of some of the good times I’ve had building crazy things with buddies in Minecraft. Supernauts will be free-to-play and is scheduled to launch worldwide early next year, but Grand Cru will be releasing the game early in Finland tomorrow in order to celebrate Finnish Independence Day. So, if you’re lucky enough to live in the beautiful land of Finland then be sure to keep an eye out for it, and for the rest of us, we’ll let you know when Supernauts sees a worldwide release next year.
Update: Supernauts is also soft-launched in Canada, check out the forum thread for more.
