Robots versus fungi FPS Mycopunk is leaving early access next month

Mycopunk, a co-op first-person shooter from Pigeons at Play, is set to transition out of early access on October 20, as revealed at the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct. Players assume the role of a robot squad dispatched to alien planets to combat fungal threats. Each mission can involve clearing out enemies or more complex objectives like constructing railguns to destroy spacecraft.

Players can play solo or team up with friends, each mission granting multiple lives to ensure uninterrupted gameplay. The game places emphasis on detailed upgrades, allowing players to meticulously design their loadout and gear through a hexagonal grid system. Additionally, between missions, players can socialize in a space station, engage in minigames, and interact with both AI-controlled and non-playable characters.

The game is currently available for early access on Steam, with a Freeze & Fester update released in August.
