Get ready to blast off into a universe of chaos and camaraderie as Variable State, the acclaimed developer behind the BAFTA-winning mystery adventure Virginia, unveils their latest brainchild, Polaris. Polaris promises to redefine the sci-fi shooter genre with its breathtaking debut trailer, featuring high-octane 4-player action, intense PvE multiplayer, and an entirely destructible environment. The game is set to launch later this year.
Set in a galaxy overshadowed by the tyrannical Regime, Polaris thrusts players into the roles of superpowered freedom fighters tasked with reclaiming their homeworlds. The Regime’s strongholds are scattered across meticulously detailed, fully destructible landscapes, including sprawling cityscapes, dense forests, and the very terrain itself. Whether you're leveling enemy infrastructure or altering the landscape with explosive force, the dynamic environments ensure every match is a unique experience.
Players will need to execute guerrilla tactics, flying through open levels and dismantling enemy defenses while unearthing the secrets behind the Regime's war machine. This game promises an exhilarating blend of refined combat mechanics, team-oriented gameplay, and destructible settings, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in PvE shooters.
Every element within the game, from towering skyscrapers to the ground beneath your feet, is designed to be destructible. This feature ensures a reactive and ever-changing battlefield, where strategic destruction can turn the tide of battle. Imagine decimating a towering building to crush enemies below or creating craters to halt advancing forces. In Polaris, the environment is both your weapon and your ally.
Polaris will soon hold a beta playtest, offering a sneak peek into the chaotic fun that awaits. Keep your eyes peeled and your trigger fingers ready because this is one sci-fi adventure you won't want to miss.
Rally your friends, prepare for battle, and get ready to liberate the galaxy. Polaris is available to wishlist today, and with its launch just around the corner, the countdown to an epic showdown has begun. Will you rise to the challenge and reclaim your home system from the Regime? The fate of the galaxy is in your hands!
