NOD NOD has announced its aphelion, a new sci-fi action adventure game coming to Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PS5 and PC in 2026.
Revealed during the Xbox Games Showcase along with an action-packed gameplay trailer, the game follows the protagonist and astronaut Ariane, stranded on the frozen planet Persefone. She must survive and brave the landscape and change realities on the planet to save her wounded partner, Thomas.
The end of the trailer also seemed to suggest something more creepy so that the sci-fi-adventure game could take a walk.
NOD also did not confirm that the game will mix investigation, review and “tense stealth -gameplay” and that players will have to avoid “lurking threats” and revealing “haunting secrets buried under the ice”.
“By 2060, the Earth will be uninhabitable. The discovery of a 9. Planet – Persefone – at the edge of the Solar System, is the best hope of humanity,” reads the game’s blurb. “The European Space Agency sends HOPE 01 Scientific Mission, which consists of 2 of their skilled astronauts, Ariane and Thomas. Their mission: to investigate the planet and decide if humanity can flourish again here.
“Your adventure begins in chaos as the crash of their ship spreads them over the planet and launches them on a desperate search to find each other.”
Although the game is only launched before 2026, you may wish you the game right now.
