Dev Diary For DELIVER US MARS Talks About Sending Players Back Into Space
The developers at KeokeN Interactive, who are now working with publisher Frontier Foundry, are ready to start talking about their latest game. As a sequel title to Deliver Us The Moon, their new game Deliver Us Mars will be a new cinematic narrative-driven adventure game. Even with the game still early in development, they are showing an early overview of the game’s story as the team takes us deep into their creative process for building their ambitious sequel.
This first developer diary is simply titled ‘Episode 1 - Journey to the Red Planet’ and takes us behind the scenes on the narrative design of Deliver Us Mars. Diving into the environmental themes that define the game’s setting, the personal stakes of the story, and the painstaking effort made by the team to create an authentic-feeling astronaut experience. Players will also get a very early glimpse at the all-new traversal system and puzzle mechanics coming to the game, which becomes increasingly more complex as the story progresses.
The game is set in a future where Earth has been ravaged by climate change, and world-altering floods are a part of our everyday lives. In the game, which is set 10 years after Deliver Us The Moon, players join a group of astronauts on a high-stakes mission to ensure humanity’s future. Their goal is to retrieve the enormous colonization ships known as the ARKs from the shadowy organization known as Outward, in order to revitalize planet Earth before it’s too late. Along the way, they’ll uncover the truth behind what happened to Outward’s missing colony.
Deliver Us Mars is planned to release on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. There is still plenty to learn about the game, but at least interested players can go ahead and wishlist this on the PC storefronts.
