DON’T NOD’s Aphelion just got a new trailer and a release date, and it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable adventure on a lonely yet intriguing planet.
Persephone, as the remnants of humanity have chosen to name it, exists quite close to the Earth, but its landmasses could not be more different. There’s not a lot of greenery on its surfaces, and there seems to be something sinister lurking under all of the ice and snow that covers the ground you’re going to be treading as Ariane and Thomas.
The new trailer also shows off a little more about the need to try and make Persephone a new home for humanity, and the hope that fuels Ariane and Thomas’ efforts to discover more about the mysterious planet against all odds. If the game’s visuals are anything like the trailer, this one could be quite the immersive experience, and we can’t wait to see what it has to offer on April 28. It’s also going to be on Game Pass, and console players can avail a 10 percent discount on their pre-orders.
If you were hoping to pick up a physical copy, the Pioneer Edition launches on July 2. The three-month wait could be worth it if it’s a sleeper hit, so keep an eye out for when it launches.
