Honeycomb: Sci‑fi survival lands on PS5 today

Frozen Way released Honeycomb: The World Beyond on the PlayStation Store for PS5 today. The first-person survival game casts players as Hennessy, a bioengineer sent to the planet Sota7 to explore, study lifeforms and survive hostile environments.

In-game, Hennessy works for EON Corp and accepts field missions that include scanning flora and fauna, leading expeditions, mining materials and expanding research outposts. Gameplay combines exploration, base building and creature research with resource gathering and crafting.

Bioengineering is a central mechanic. Players can synthesize plant traits and modify animal DNA to produce physical changes that affect movement, defenses and environmental interactions. The toolkit includes scanners, crafting stations and genetic manipulation tools. A hoverboard is available for faster travel across the terrain.

Sota7 is a land-based world with distinct surface biomes: vibrant jungles, open fields and an active volcano. Each area hosts native species with different behaviors and hazards. Named creatures include the Thessalika Nango, Skittertails and Azurite Lonebids, which players can scan and study to gain new crafting options and abilities.

Base construction provides shelter and serves as a hub for research and manufacturing. Larger bases act as safe zones and allow longer expeditions and more advanced genetic experiments. Materials from mining and foraging supply parts for buildings, tool upgrades and bioengineering projects.

Honeycomb is available now on PS5, and is also offered on PC and Xbox Series X|S. Some early reviews highlighted the game’s atmosphere and mechanics. The developer describes the title as a mix of survival, exploration and sci‑fi research, with progression driven by mapping Sota7 and adapting alien biology to solve challenges.
