‘My biggest fear is the direct comparison to Grounded 1’: Grounded 2 executive producer opens up about the difficulty of following up an early access game with another early access game
Grounded 2 was announced at the Xbox Games Showcase over the weekend, and it’s releasing into early access next month—July 29, to be specific.
