Starbound enters open beta with a brand new trailer.

Ever since the game was initially announced back in February of 2012, Chucklefish has been making Starbound bigger and better. The game was eagerly anticipated, and pre-orders opened up in April. To demonstrate just how many gamers were interested in the idea, the community amassed a total of $2.5 million since pre-orders opened.

Today the public beta has begun, and, unfortunately, it may be a bit of a rough ride for gamers who participate in it. The game is still changing rapidly, after all, and worlds and characters are getting deleted all over the place. Of course, changes are to be expected in a beta.

If you’re not planning to take place in the beta of the game, you can stil examine a brand new four minute trailer of the game, which can be found below:

Will you be taking part in the game’s beta? If so, please share your thoughts on the game as you participate so that other readers will know what to expect.

Thanks, Kotaku.
