Former CD Projekt Red & Techland Devs Announce New Sci-Fi Thriller

If you haven’t heard of Starward Industries then save the name to memory, as the new studio has just revealed its debut game: sci-fi thriller, The Invincible.

Starward Industries is definitely a studio to keep your eyes on, as it’s comprised of a number of notable game developers from studios including CD Projekt Red (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt) and Techland (Dying Light).

CEO Marek Markuszewski, formerly a senior producer at CD Projekt Red, helms the team of 12, who’ve been hard at work on The Invincible, “a first-person Sci-Fi thriller set in a retro-future timeline.”

Based on the 1964 novel by Polish author Stanisław Lem, the game’s official Steam page explains: “You are a scientist onboard an interstellar scientific expedition, suddenly thrown into a life-or-death rescue mission. Landing on a planet Regis III you have to find the missing crew members using some advanced space equipment, whilst relying on your brains and instincts to survive on the planet which quickly occurs to be unwelcoming.

“Soon you’ll discover that Regis III holds terrifying secrets which are uncovered while you’re piecing together the fate of your crew. And as you delve deeper into the mystery, you realise that perhaps you are not alone, and that some places like this planet are better left untouched. But it’s too late to turn back.”

The Invincible will feature a non-linear story and “advanced technology allowing for drones and autonomous robots to support or spoil your mission.” With its stunning art style and tantalising description, The Invincible is looking like the space game we’ve been waiting for.
