The brilliant Half-Life-inspired survival game Abiotic Factor cascades into 1.0 this July

Like a bespectacled boffin dangling a piece of cheese over the cage of a two-headed lab rat, Abiotic Factor has been teasing me with its 1.0 release for a while. Developer Deep Field Games initially broached the subject back in April as it detailed its upcoming Cold Fusion update, before confirming Cold Fusion is the 1.0 update earlier this month...

Abiotic Factor is all set to launch into version 1.0 next month

Remember back in April when I told you about Abiotic Factor's next update, Cold Fusion? No? What do you mean you can't remember every single news post I've ever written? Fine, whatever, point is, it turns out that said update turned into the full on 1.0 release of the game. And now, as shown off in a swanky new trailer for developer Deep Field, the release date for the release of 1.0 has been revealed!

Criminally underappreciated survival game Abiotic Factor is leaving early access with an update that adds buildable office cubicles and a spooky library

I strapped on my crampons for an initial peek at Abiotic Factor's Cold Fusion update back in April, but at the time it wasn't wholly clear how it would tie into the run up to the game's 1.0 launch.

Sure, a concluding act to the tale of Gordon Freeman, Alyx Vance, et al would be nice, but I think I'm getting all the Half-Life I crave courtesy of Deep Field's survival game Abiotic Factor.

In a fresh look at what's in store, Deep Field reveals some transformative new features that I can't wait to get my hands on.
