The Gunk was initially announced earlier this year, where it was one amongst a crowd of upcoming Xbox-backed titles. It comes from the team behind the Steamworld Dig franchise, and is their first 3D title.
The Gunk’s official summary reads as follows:
“The Gunk is a game about two friends who run a small scavenging outfit together, and who travel from one space rock to another in search for resources they can harvest and sell. One day they land on a planet that looks dead from a distance, turns out to be unlike any other they’ve set foot on. A slimy parasite — or gunk — covers vast areas and seems to corrupt the otherwise vibrant nature and wildlife. It’s clear that they must fight this gunk to understand what’s happened and to save the dying planet. But this also creates a rift between them; on one hand, the planet will die if we don’t rid the planet of the gunk. On the other, we’ve got problems of our own and surely this isn’t our fight to begin with. So, who cares… right? Do we have to?”
The Gunk will be available on December 16th, 2021 for PC, Xbox Series X | S, and Xbox One and through Game Pass.
