Sci-Fi Thriller ‘The Invincible’ Announces November 6 Release Date [Trailer]
After several years in development, Starward Industries’ hard sci-fi thriller The Invincible will finally be coming home this November. Thanks to a new trailer, The Invincible will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG on November 6. In addition, those attending Gamescom this year will be able to play the demo of The Invincible.
Based on the motifs of the iconic novel of the same name by hard science-fiction author and Polish futurologist Stanisław Lem, The Invincible casts the player as Yasna, a sharp-tongued astrobiologist who is sent on a scientific mission to discover what lies on the dusty surface of the uncharted Regis III.
However, things turn dire when Yasna’s crew disappears, resulting in her having to search for them and bring them back “dead or alive”. Your task is clear: harness every atom-powered device at your disposal
and summon every molecule of your unwavering determination. Things quickly get out of hand, and the mind-boggling scientific phenomena that you experience throughout the course of your journey will bend your understanding of the difference between life and death, and force you to rethink humankind’s position as a pinnacle of evolution.
The long wait for console owners to play Nightdive’s System Shock remake is finally over. Almost a year to the day the remake of the iconic 1994 FPS was released on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG, System Shock is now available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series.
“For the first time ever, the incredible world of System Shock is available to console gamers,” said Stephen Kick, CEO of Nightdive Studios. “We’re so excited to introduce our take on this pioneering piece of gaming history to a whole new audience.”
The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of System Shock have a physical and digital release, while the last-gen versions will be digital-only.
System Shock takes place in the year 2072. You are a nameless hacker, and you’ve been caught while attempting to access files concerning Citadel Station, a space station owned by the TriOptimum Corporation. However, in exchange for the dropping of all charges (and a military grade neural implant), you are tasked with hacking SHODAN, the artificial intelligence that controls the station. After hacking SHODAN, removing the AI’s ethical constraints, you are given the implants and put into a healing coma. You wake up six months later on board Citadel, and all hell has broken loose.
If you’re still on the fence of diving into System Shock, check out Harrison’s review, who stated that Nightdive “have absolutely achieved what they set out to do” in regards to updating and bringing the game to a modern audience.
