Curious Expedition 2 developer Maschinen-Mensch has announced Mother Machine, a four-player cooperative action RPG / platformer coming to unspecified consoles and PC via Steam. It will launch in Q1 2025.

Built in Unreal Engine 5 and promising to ‘push the limits of procedurally-generated gameplay,’ Mother Machine is set in the cave networks of a derelict space colony. Players control one of many “chaos gremlins” who are endlessly sent to death, then revived by their malfunctioning robot mother in search of resources, technology, and the answers to the planet’s darkest mysteries.

“At Maschinen-Mensch, crafting games with innovative procedural gameplay is in our DNA,” said Maschinen-Mensch Riad Djemli in a press release. “Following the success of Curious Expedition 1 and 2, our team has grown to over 20 very talented individuals. Now, we’re excited to bring our unique approach to the action–RPG genre with our new IP, Mother Machine. We can’t wait to share this new adventure with our community.”

Here is an overview of the game, via Maschinen-Mensch:
