Don’t nod has announced AphelionA new science fiction action-adventure game, coming to Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PS5 and PC in 2026.
Revealed during the Vitrine des Games Xbox alongside a trailer for action full of action, the game follows the protagonist and astronaut Ariane, which is blocked on the planet Frozen Persephone.
She must survive and defy the landscapes and change the realities of the planet to save her injured partner, Thomas.
The end of the trailer also seemed to refer to something more sinister, so the science fiction adventure game could take a tour.
Don’t Hoch also confirmed that the game will mix the exploration, crossing and the “tense stew gameplay”, and that players will have to avoid “hidden threats” and discover “obsessive secrets buried under the ice”.
“By 2060, the earth will be uninhabitable. The discovery of a 9th planet – Persephone – on the edge of the solar system, is the best hope of humanity,” said the presentation text of the game.
“The European space agency sends the scientific mission Hope 01, made up of 2 of their accomplished astronauts, Ariane and Thomas. Their mission: to study the planet and determine if humanity can prosper here.
“Your adventure begins in chaos, while the landing of the accident of their ship disperses them through the planet, throwing them in a desperate quest to find themselves.”
Although the game does not start before 2026, you can wish it now.
