Sci-Fi Thriller ‘Fort Solis’ Now Coming to PS5 Alongside PC; New Gameplay Trailer Released [Video]
In addition to coming to Steam later this Summer, developer Fallen Leaf has teamed up with Dear Villagers to bring their upcoming third-person sci-fi thriller Fort Solis to PlayStation 5. To commemorate this occasion, Fallen Leaf has revealed an all new gameplay trailer for Fort Solis.
Taking cues from films such as Moon, Sunshine, and Solaris, Game Director James Tinsdale states that the team “wanted to capture a feeling of being alone, unsafe, and unsure of what’s going on” with Fort Solis. “We hope this trailer offers a taste of the eerie tone we’re aiming for ahead of Fort Solis’ release this Summer.”
“When we first saw Fort Solis we knew Fallen Leaf was making something special,” said Guillaume Jamet, Head of Publishing for Dear Villagers. “It really stood apart from other sci-fi horror games with its brilliant script, classy presentation, environmental storytelling, and narratively open-ended game design. We can’t wait to hear the discourse around it!”
In Fort Solis, you’ll explore the eponymous station at your own pace, gathering clues from its bunkers, labs, crew quarters, and the harsh surface of Mars to understand just what horrors befell its inhabitants. As the night grows longer events escalate and spiral out of control, and the mystery as to what’s really going on deepens. You must race against time to locate the Fort Solis crew members and escape. You’ll have to make tough decisions in real time as you piece together the sinister forces that have befallen the station and its crew.
