Colony management sim Surviving Mars will arrive in March with full mod support

Paradox Interactive and Haemimont Games have announced a release date of March 15 for colony management sim Surviving Mars. And, we're told in a press release from Parabox, when the game arrives it will be with "full modding tools and support—including mods available at launch from some of Paradox’s most talented community creators." Neat.

Above, you'll find a short new trailer about the mysteries you may find when you establish your colony on Mars, including hovering spheres, shadowy cubes, and some sort of spinning artifact half-buried in the planet's surface.

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
