Grounded 2 released its first Roadmap for Early Access, covering 2025 and beyond. Here’s everything you need to know about the content Obsidian has planned.
Roadmap Overview
Below is the roadmap Overview as made available on the Grounded 2 Official Site. It’s a great summary of what’s to come, but we’ll dive into it just a bit more.
Please note that as this is a very early roadmap, its subject to change and may see further updates, including new items to the roadmap, as only the Fall and Winter Updates are being given more detail.
Any changes or updates will be displayed on the Roadmap section of the Grounded 2 Official Site.
Fall Update
The first update is one we’re almost certainly going to see before the end of 2025, due to its Fall timing.
This update will include the ability to access the Hotpouch while riding the Buggy. This can only be done currently by hopping off the Buggy Companion, then access your items.
There is also plenty of quality of life, new text translations, and a new feature for building, the Building Grid. The Building Grid will likely serve to provide the ability to snap different building pieces to it, making it easier to quickly construct bases and other buildings.
The Rest of the Fall Update focuses on a New boss, called AXL, to be found within the Park. Including new recipes for gear and decor. Nothing is known about this boss, though given the name, it’s likely to be Ominent in design.
Winter Update
The following update, however, could end up landing at the very end of the year, or early into 2026.
The Winter Update appears to be much larger in scope, fleshing out an entirely new area within the Park, its name spraypainted over to conceal it. This, of course, comes with a whole host of new Bugs, new equipment, and more building options.
Outside of this, it seems we can expect some returning features and revamps to the existing system that were carried over from Grounded 1. Most notably among these are Playgrounds, or Grounded 2 Custom World building tool.
Summer Update and Beyond
The Summer update is at least a year away, but is currently slated to update several features carried over from Grounded 1, as well Water Creatures, Buggies, and Bases, alongside another tier of gear and equipment.
Post Summer, we can see two more planned area expansions for the Park and more of practically everything. The most interesting thing on this list is the mention of Colossi, which currently haven’t been shown or seen anywhere just yet. Seems we have more than just Bosses to worry about in the Park.
