Terraria 2? Well, they can't call it that of course, but it sure looks like it. Coming from developer Pugstorm and published by Chucklefish, KYORA looks quite delightful.
Pugstorm did fantastic work with Core Keeper so they're no strangers to exploration and crafting games, and some devs from Chucklefish worked on Terraria and created Starbound so it's all coming together here.
More: "Cross into a realm of ruins, where every pixel is a tool to create something new. Mine precious resources, craft physics-altering wands, take on powerful bosses, and build your base by terraforming the world around you. "
Check out the very short teaser below:

Feature Highlight:
- Journey into the unexpected, in a procedurally-generated open world. Carve into the earth or sculpt toward the sky in search of magical materials. Craft matter-manipulating wands, upgrade your gear, and take on the powerful bosses in control of each biome: the Heralds.
- Let loose your sandbox creativity with pixel-by-pixel terraforming. Build bridges to new areas, sculpt and customise your dream base with terrapixel materials, or even use your terraforming powers mid-battle to construct platforms and cover.
- The world of KYORA is filled with secrets. The further you venture, the more dangers await. To survive KYORA’S forest-cloaked ruins and cross its blistering desert sands, you’ll need to use each biome’s resources to your advantage. Gather materials, forge powerful weapons and armour, plant seeds and cook up recipes to help you traverse the wilds...
- It’s dangerous to go alone! Bring your buddies with you to combine skills, creating fun synergies between wand abilities, in up to 8-player online co-op gameplay.
From what I've seen it will again have Native Linux support. It also has controller support so it should be good to go on Steam Deck too!
I need this game right now!
That being said, Pugstorm did absolutely do a good job on Core Keeper and I have no doubt this will be quite good, I just have my misgivings with Chucklefish, the company.
