Created by developer Experiment 101, Art & Creative Director Stefan Ljungqvist along with his team aims to offer players unparalleled freedom in character creation, combat mechanics, and exploration elements in the post-apocalyptic epic adventure. Set in a time where the lifeforce of the planet is sustained by the Tree of Life, players design their own vision of the ultimate battle critter, in order to adopt their preferred Mutations, learn styles of Martial Arts, and save the divine tree to unite the realm once more.

Biomutant has branching storylines where decisions made by the player will decide how the story will continue. The world of Biomutant is struck by a natural disaster as poisonous oil comes up from beneath the surface and pollutes the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life has five roots through which it gives life to the whole world. In order to save the Tree of Life, players need to go to the end of each root, where aside from the oil a creature is destroying the root by gnawing at it. There are also six tribes that are split from their original enclave. Three of them want to heal the Tree of Life, while the three others plan to do things on their own. Each tribe can be influenced through the Karma system. The player can ally with a tribe and eliminate other tribes in order to grow the power of the allied tribe in the world, although the player can also decide on the Tree of Life's fate without having to murder any of the tribes if they want to.
