Lightyear Frontier is an upcoming farming sim, but with a cross between a mech and a tractor, set on an alien world. It’s coming out in Spring 2023, on Xbox Series X/S and PC.

Check out the reveal trailer below:

The description reads:

“Start your interstellar homestead in this peaceful open-world farming adventure! Build your sustainable exofarm, grow alien crops, and explore a new world full of mystery with up to three friends! It’s been a long journey across the galaxy, but on the other end, there’s a beautiful world to behold. Begin your fresh start when Lightyear Frontier comes to Xbox Series S/X, PC, and Game Pass, Spring 2023!”

If you’ve always thought that farming sim games should have aliens and walking mechs crossed with tractors, then 2023 will be the year for you.

Lightyear Frontier was shown off during the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase. We also got a longer look at Starfield in action. Hideo Kojima turned up and said hello to Phil Spencer, before announcing his intention to bring something new to Xbox. And we got a good look at Redfall, which is coming out next year. Plus, if you like Metroidvanias, check out The Last Case of Benedict Fox. Oh, and Ereban: Shadow Legacy looks very cool.
