World 2: Kourou

Kourou is the second revealed world of the X'Lehari system, showcased in the official 'Kourou' planet gameplay reveal. The developer's own Steam news post describes a planet of extremes: "vast frozen glaciers slowly move across its surface, concealing integral resources beneath; volcanic badlands shoot fire and magma through deep surface trenches; steam fields combine the two extremes as superheated water erupts and provides a home for the only source of organic material on the planet."

Where Daegus teaches the systems, Kourou tests them: official copy stresses that its environments will "provide unique opportunities, resources, and risks, as you explore and work towards solving the mystery of the Tetryon threat". The three confirmed zones each carry a distinct gameplay identity — glaciers hide the resources you need, volcanic badlands punish careless placement, and steam fields are the planet's only organic material source.

Kourou is the first world where terrain itself is a mechanic. The three zones map cleanly onto different outpost priorities: glaciers for buried resources, steam fields for organic material and geothermal opportunity, volcanic badlands as high-risk terrain you route around rather than through.

Kourou releases with the full game on October 20 — it is not part of the demo. Detailed zone maps, resource tables and outpost layouts for Kourou are the top launch-week backfill item for this page.
