RimWorld Console Edition brings the rich strategy and unflinching survival of the critically acclaimed sci-fi colony management sim enjoyed by over a million players to Xbox One on July 29.
RimWorld delivers unpredictable stories involving colonists willing to do anything to survive against vicious raiders and complicated relationships. The game does this by intelligently generating events which produce the most interesting narratives for your colony.
In-game events are driven by one of three intelligent AI storytellers, simulating combat, trading, medicine, relationships, and more. Experience success, failure, drama, and tragedy as your colony develops over hundreds of hours of gameplay.
Each storyteller has their own unique personality tuned for different playstyles. Randy Random, the wild card, will throw unpredictable challenges at you; Cassandra Classic offers a tense but balanced experience; whilst Phoebe Chillax likes to relax for a gentle yet increasing difficulty curve.
One playthrough you might start with three colonists crash landing on a strange, unknown planet where you will build up their home from nothing, balancing their moods and overcoming daily challenges to survive.
They are not professional settlers, and each come with their own generated skill sets, likes, dislikes, needs, and quirks. You may end up with a motley crew of a farmer, hunter, and accountant; or maybe an elite squad of retired soldiers. As your colony expands you will acquire more colonists — capture them from rival factions, take prisoners in combat or take in travelers from quests.
Your colonists will form relationships with others. Maybe they will become friends, lovers or even rivals. The best cook and expert builder may be happily married — until one of them falls for the handsome hunter who saved them from a Thrumbo attack.
Each game generates a random planet teeming with diverse areas filled with unique wildlife, fauna and environments. Choose where to land your crash pods and begin your journey.
Form a caravan of people, animals and prisoners and explore the world in search of kidnapped colonists; trade and attend peace talks; attack your enemies and complete quests. You’re not stuck in one place, you can even move your entire colony to a new place. Research enough and use futuristic transport pods to explore faster.
Whether fighting off threats from pirates, mad animals, giant insects or ancient killing machines, RimWorld’s tactical combat engine kicks in. Colonists will use the environment around them, ducking for cover and leaning around corners for a tactical advantage, powered by RimWorld’s cover system, intelligent algorithm and an advanced, stat-based weapon system to deliver a deep combat experience.
Craft defensive structures, weapons and items from resources collected throughout your journey to protect your colony. Share in the grief of losing a beloved colonist, swearing to never let it happen again. Train and domesticate cute pets, productive farm animals and powerful beasts to fight alongside your colony. Get ahead and trade for resources with passing trader caravans.
Help and tend to your injured, replace and augment injured colonists with rudimentary prosthetics and futuristic bionics. While they may be slow, a wooden leg may mean the difference between life and death following a particularly aggressive squirrel raid; but a futuristic bionic leg will have them running circles around the squirrels next time.
All of these intricate systems come together to create a deep and unpredictable experience, where actions have consequences and nothing is certain!

RIMWORLD IS A STORY GENERATOR
It’s designed to co-author tragic, twisted, and triumphant stories about imprisoned pirates, desperate colonists, starvation and survival. It works by controlling the “random” events that the world throws at you. Every thunderstorm, pirate raid, and travelling salesman is a card dealt into your story by the AI Storyteller. There are several storytellers to choose from. Randy Random does crazy stuff, Cassandra Classic goes for rising tension, and Phoebe Chillax likes to relax.
BUILD. DEFEND. EXPLORE
The game generates a whole planet from pole to equator. You choose whether to land your crash pods in a cold northern tundra, a parched desert flat, a temperate forest, or a steaming equatorial jungle. Different areas have different animals, plants, diseases, temperatures, rainfall, mineral resources, and terrain. The challenges of surviving in a disease-infested, choking jungle are very different from those in a parched desert wasteland or a frozen tundra with a two-month growing season.
ENDLESS COLONIST INTERACTION
Your colonists are not professional settlers – they’re crash-landed survivors from a passenger liner destroyed in orbit. You can end up with a nobleman, an accountant, and a housewife. You’ll acquire more colonists by capturing them in combat and turning them to your side. So your colony will always be a motley crew.
