Sandbox (stylized as S&box) is an upcoming sandbox game being developed by Facepunch Studios as a spiritual successor to their debut title, Garry's Mod. Though Sandbox was announced in September 2017 as an Unreal Engine 4 project, the developers intended to code it in an "engine agnostic" way so that they could easily switch to Source 2 if the latter engine became available for them to use.[1][2] After three years of intermittent development, Sandbox was transferred to the Source 2 engine in October 2020.[3]
