Auroch Digital revealed today that they will be bringing their adorable city-builder game The Colonists to all three major consoles. Originally developed by Code By Fire and published by Mode 7 for the PC version, the game will have you in charge of a fleet of robots tasked with setting up a civilization on a distant planet so human life can set up shop when they're done. Now we know the game is coming to Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch sometime in 2021, but we don't have a confirmed date yet and no word on whether or not it will be backward-compatible for next-gen consoles. While we wait to hear news, you can read more about the game below and check out screenshots as it will appear on console.
