Developer KeokeN Interactive\u2019s upcoming sci-fi game\u00a0Deliver Us Mars\u00a0<\/em>will soon see a release on February 2. To prepare players for that date, the developer put together a mostly cinematic trailer that gives a small taste of the grand locations and narrative featured in Deliver Us Mars<\/em>.\u00a0<\/em>Dubbed the \u201cCountdown to Launch Trailer,\u201d it condenses all of this imagery and drama into less than one minute, complete with a few small snippets of gameplay.<\/p>\n

For those who don\u2019t know,\u00a0Deliver Us Mars\u00a0<\/em>serves as a sequel to 2019\u2019s\u00a0Deliver Us The Moon<\/em>, taking place 10 years after that game\u2019s events. Players assume the role of Kathy Johanson, an astronaut sent on a mission to recover the ARK vessels on Mars. These colony ships house technologies powerful enough to reverse the effects of climate change, an especially urgent goal considering the Earth\u2019s rapid atmospheric deterioration. As she embarks on this mission, however, Kathy has to consider \u201cthe possibility that her long-lost father, Isaac, may still be alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mars is not for the faint of heart<\/h2>\n

The gameplay of\u00a0Deliver Us Mars<\/em> sees players navigating Mars\u2019 precarious landscapes through zero-G exploration. As they climb and jump around, players will come across numerous puzzles and physical trials that they will need to complete using \u201cboth brains and brawn.\u201d By conquering these challenges and progressing through the story, players will learn more about the individuals who used to reside on the ARKs.<\/p>\n

Throughout the adventure, players can enjoy a cinematic score by Sander Van Zanten alongside the game\u2019s Unreal Engine-powered visuals. The new trailer for\u00a0Deliver Us Mars<\/em> does show off a little bit of the game\u2019s advanced motion capture and ray-traced shadows, but of course, players will be able to appreciate these more once the title arrives in more than three weeks. The standard edition will cost $29.99 USD, but those who want both the game and the official soundtrack can purchase the Deluxe Edition for $34.99 USD.<\/p>\n
