Nordic Trolls released new gameplay footage for the open-world survival game Under a Rock. The video shows taming wild animals like the Dodo, hatching eggs for companions, and riding or fighting alongside them. The game supports up to 10 players and is set for early access on PC, with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions planned.
The latest footage from Nordic Trolls for Under a Rock focuses on the creature systems that set the game apart from other survival titles. Players can tame wild animals using a Taming Box item, with some creatures requiring more time and effort than others. A Creature Handling skill makes the process more efficient. Tamed animals stay at a base and gather resources and eggs. Eggs can be hatched into companion animals that do not drop resources but can carry items, be ridden, and fight. Companions grow in stats and do not die even if their health reaches zero in combat. Under a Rock is scheduled for early access on Steam and the Epic Games Store, with console releases planned for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
