The Vancouver-based studio behind hits like Don’t Starve, Klei Entertainment, has revealed Away Team. This 2D base-building survival game is set in the same universe as their acclaimed Oxygen Not Included. Announced during Klei Fest 2025, Away Team promises Klei’s recognizable charm and their wacky mechanics. A release date is not yet confirmed, but the Steam page is already live.

In Away Team, you play as a lone Duplicant (a colonist from Oxygen Not Included) who crash-lands on an unknown new world. You must build a base, gather resources, and survive in an environment where every tile is meticulously simulated. Like Oxygen Not Included, Away Team relies on dynamic interactions that create emergent chaos. Liquids flow and evaporate, fires spread, and every action requires a careful understanding of thermodynamics.

The side-scrolling view combines exploration with crafting opportunities as you investigate procedurally generated environments. As mentioned, every tile reacts to your actions, thereby creating a world where one mistake can lead to disaster.
